interesting post
for years now collectors of third reich badges have used badge weights
and badge measurments as a good way to tell genuine from repo.
it is very hard for the fakers to get these two correct.
but you do have to allow some leeway.
the repo badges tend to be smaller in size and lighter or heavier in weight
so you need a set of electronic scales and digital caliper
that along with visual look and feel will help them judge a badge to be good
or bad
