Real of fake? Kriegsmarine U-Boat, High Seas Fleet and Radio Operator badges

[Earl]

Dear all.

I'm new in this field and I know that I have to do my initial research on these things::) However, I need your prompt advise, whether these badges are real of copies? The seller couldn't (or did not want) to confirm it's origin. 

Many thanks in advance.

They all look like reproductions to me.  Lack of detail on the front and poor construction of pins ,etc. on the reverse. For instance the last pin is poorly constructed and the eagle should be attached to the wreath with pins.

 

I would pass on all of these badges if I were you.

Sarge, thanks a lot. You just confirmed my doubts about these items. I searched a lot in the internet trying to compare the originals with these ones and there were so many discrepancies.

I will pass on them.

 

Cheers

Any u-boat badges with 'Frank & Reif, stuttgart' on the back are copies.

Always found this site to be a fantastic reference Earl
