Stickpin A:
Im not familiar with the maker mark and the length of pin seems to raise some red flags although there is some knurling.
What do you think of it?

Can't comment on the badge in question, but I have information on metal content. Early badges were
produced in high quality solid silver. The metal composition changed to silver/nickel in late 1934 and
heavy concentrated nickel alloy in 1937. Normally the badge will exhibit a wide outer band and a narrower inner band.Comment

Thank you David.
So i suppose the late 37 variants were no longer stamped with Silber?

Learn about these pins before you make comments like this,please.Originally posted by David48 View Post
They are incorrect.
This pin is trying to say its by JFS.A well known SS fake maker name for these items.Sometimes found with a buttonhole mount.
As said,only two makers.Hoffstatter Bonn,and Gahr in silver only.

Hi Seiler,
the maker mark was not clear from the photos and as I was unsure, i decided to post photos.
Now that you and the others have clarified, this pin is bad.
Thanks for your kind input.
