swastikas look well weird at the bottoms, first three are red'ish enamel the last nearly all black?
Hi "Gold"
Yes but that doesn't mean a thing though. It might if you had only seen a few and had laid down some "rules" for yourself as many already have regarding the swas, the amount of sun rays etc.. it is just not possible though, as i found out myself by looking a bit closer at a few different badges. The color of the enamel depends on so many things, i covered these in my
book already, so that is an "oddity" that can be explained and wont point to anything good or bad really.
I also have examples of the identical party badges, that now, some 70 years later show different taints to the red enamel, some dark, some very light....
Here is another supposedly original, that sports no GES.GESCH, yet does show
the same line breaks along the sun border/line.

But is that original? Well i dont know, i can only say that with these badges, you really need to have them in your chubby paws, and you really need to examine each one, because there are no flaws as such, that you only find on good or bad, despite what anyone says, or what people have posted on a forum regarding traits like the "rounded" tips of the sun rays, the amount of sun rays, the shape of the swas, the missing/present hyphen between the words ARBEITER-JUGEND .. etc etc..
I personally dont like the 4 that start this thread off because i get the feeling that they have all been tampered with. But in order to say 100% Yeah or Nay, i would need to have one in my worship-clappers.
This one below i have shown a few times now, 15 sun rays only, rounded sun ray tips, pink-ish enamel, Boris-the-animal design, quickly made die, but....
100% original.
