1194 Totenkopf Buttons

[bwanek1]

I have read threads discussing the 1194 TK bottons, but I have never been able to find reference photos of the 1194/40 version, only a couple of the 1194/39 version. Below is an aluminum 1194/39 with a concave back, which matches the others I have seen. Next to it is a zinc 1194/40 with a flat back, which I would like to hear opinions on. The front dies, while very similar, are different.

I've often wondered the same about that 2nd style.
My original has the aluminum front and a zinc back.
It is marked 1194/40.

I have never liked these types.

But the skulls are very like the type on this drum..........

I know mine is real.

Well, that's OK then. I'm happy for you.

[SScollector]

I don't mind if you disagree Mr. Lumsden.
We'll just have to agree to disagree.

Best, Chris

We'll just have to agree to disagree.

Why the need to disagree?

I didn't say I thought they were fakes.

I just said I didn't like them

Two different things entirely.

There are many original badges that I don't like.

Oh, I thought that's what you meant. Sorry.
