“Original” Reproductions - Police Disk and Party Pin
I purchased this disc and the party pin together from a seller at a flea/antiques show. Found out afterwards the M number on disk calls out fake. Think party pin is also due to the curvature? Guy was not primarily military seller - these were amongst other good militaria and actually charged me more for disc (said it was silver) than the legit items I bought from him.
My title is "original" reproduction since I found an old militaria catalog listed on ebay that my research into the items found to be referenced on forums. The items in catalog look like the disc and pin. First generation reproductions? Is there a field of collecting repros.
Delta International is the company from 1970’s ( I found copy on ebay when figuring out what I bought after the fact….I downloaded copies of the catalog pages if there is a place to post on forum for others to reference let me know).
