Again, where are your sources on information regarding this?
I don't see how you can confidently say these are fine when Walter is a known repro dealer and they match exactly what he has listed.
"So and so told me so" doesn't count as a legitimate source of information.
Vintage Repros do exist but they always shine .
These badges came from various known sources for a very long time , Dachau stocks vet's souvenirs for example .
If you really think they are repro then send them to me ( not to the others ) , i'll pay twice the price of a repro badge ! Plus postage !

Also people over on War Relics think the Croatian is fake because there's too much white on the back.

So send me your badges ? . i'll accept less threads on the back of the Croatian one,no problem ...
The black light is only a tool but you have to know how to use the results of a test : some period cloth are glowing like the pink colour cloth .
But period white threads never !
It does not mean that all non glowing badges are original but that helps to have its own opinion ...
