I agree, nice Dachau type Edelweiss.

Is this the same patch type as the one at the beginning of the post? Are they Dachau made examples?

[Marcel Banziger]

I am no expert myself. Not even close. But my gutfeeling tells me there's something wrong with this one. I am curious to opinions on more experienced collectors to learn more here.

The unraveling edges are a good sign for Dachau produced edelweiss insignia...
The same thing happens with foreign volunteer shields and sleeve eagles!

[Marcel Banziger]

But the black cloth on the front of the 2nd badge doesn't look similar to the Dachau badges I have myself and which I have seen from other collectors (or does the photo play tricks on me?).
And the white outer oval also looks a bit sloppy compared to others what I have seen. Or is that no problem with these?
