First of all I just want to say hello to everybody as I’m new to this site.

Yesterday whilst in London I visited a militaria shop and purchased two badges. I purchased a silver zinc wound badge (with the number 30 engraved on the back) for £65.00, and a Adolf Hitler 1933 party badge for £95.00. The dealer is very reputable and had many fantastic items in stock, so I didnt hesitate purchasing the badges.

However, as I am new in collecting, I did some research on the A. H badge and from what I have read it appears to be a fake.

Has anybody here found any definate news on the history of this badge? I have included some pictures, but I apologise if they are not the best quality.

And sorry, this appears to be a topic that creeps up time and time again.

Thanks guys.
