MAGNIFY

This badge, of which the most common fake is in aluminium, is actually die-struck tombak with a heavy silver plate finish. It may commemorate the swearing in of the Leibstandarte in Munich in the winter of 1933. I'm not absolutely sure about this and would welcome any comments.

This badge does not appear in any of the reference books I have to hand, viz Detlev Niemann, etc, but it must be a rare piece simply to have been copied so extensively.

As of 2021, considered by C&T Auctions to be fake and sold as such.

If you want to comment on this item—re quality, age, etc—please email me.
