Opinion on SS pin

[FALuinstra]

I recently bought this pin. Is there someone who can tell me something about it? Most importantly: Is it original or a post war fantasy item? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

F.A

Thanks Tony, for taking the time to reply but how do you know for sure it's a reproduction?

SS stick pin

Hi FA, I'm sorry to say that the construction of your pin, compared to a real ss pin is different. The real one's have black enamel surrounding the runes and the pin itself usually has serrated bands on it. The author A. Hayes has a color pic of a good pin in his book SS Uniforms,Insignia,& Accoutrements .
