SS/Gestapo (?) Lapel Pin

[jwburchell]

Have not had this one in my hand, but will post scans here for opinions, please. While I am in no way well-experienced with SS-related items, this pin seems to shout "fantasy" to me. I cannot find it in any books that I have. The enamelling seems poorly done and the wording wrong ("Geheimpolizei" should read "Geheime Staats Polizei" for Gestapo?).

In picture 1, the motto reads: "Fur treue Dienste im Geheimpolizei" and the button bears a date "1939".

In picture 2, the reverse of the pin is marked: "Ges. Gesch" and the button bears a number "0031" and lettering "Berlin".

Is this a known piece of insignia, or is it a fantasy piece?

Regards,
John

A fantasy, found in many Polish gift shops and bazaars.

Well, that's what I figured. Thanks for the replies and confirmation of my gut-feeling on this one.

If you are a member of the secret police, it would not make sense to wear a lapel pin saying "Here I am."

Absolutely correct, Bob.

Note to Moderator Gary Wood: you may want to post this pin in the SS fakes thread?

Well, maybe at the annual Gestapo Christmas party.
