Kriegsmarine BLOCKADE RUNNER BADGE

Been trying to figure this one out. The picture I've posted is the one I am trying to figure out if it is authentic.

Here are some examples of the real deals- http://www.helmetsandheadgear.co.uk/images/N151-1.jpg

The back ion the one I posted is screwed though - the pin. But would there have been different styles of pins along the way. It also looks way to "clean" What is your take. Fake? - the picture I posted. Thanks

Was this an SS, or Heer volunteer group?

I was wondering if anybody knew whether this Arabian unit patch was for the Waffen SS, or for the Heer? (or neither)

WW1 battlefield finds

I don't roam much WW1 battlefields, but where I live,it is impossible not to stomp into them. Not so many finds from my side, but chances are that we may see nice things from other members :)

US or british igniter?

I took this shot about 2 years ago. I did not remove it because I wanted to be sure about what it is. So far I didn't come up with a clear ID, but although it was in a remote area, someone else found it and took it. My guess is that it is some kind of igniter,british or american. Let's see if anyone here knows it.
