Dear Fellow Forum Members,
I‘d be very happy about your opinions regarding these Cockades.
At first glance, the Imperial Cockade looked like a fake to me because I didn't like the color or the back. In the photo, however, the front looks quite authentic, which is why I'm unsure.

I have never seen a Prussian EM Cockade M91 like this before. The inner ring with the rays is very narrow and the serrated ring outside is unusually wide. The pressing, on the other hand, looks good for me, which is why I don't know what to think of it.

Any help is welcome. Thank you very much 🙏
 
Sandy:

I think the top Reichskokarde is good. The edges of the serrations are well-defined.

I'm less keen on the Landeskokarde. It lacks the detail of the Reichskokarde, but that could be attributable to a die that was badly worn. The innermost ring is quite narrow, something I'm not used to seeing, although there were undoubtedly multiple dies in use by various manufacturers.
 
hello
for me, these cockades have been repainted.
As for originality, I prefer not to comment, but I don't really like the patina.
 
I have now found identical cockades with this narrow inner ring. But that somehow makes me more and more uncertain, because some look authentic, others look like reproductions…
