1930's Swedish Pins. I know what they are. That isn't the mystery to me. My question is... Are they real from the time period or are they reproductions? These were not posted to offend anyone, I'm just curious as to whether they are real or not. Purchased by myself at an outdoor market many years ago.

I would probly say they are real, people usually reproduce things that they can sell for alot of money, like helmets and knives. Just look closly, see if they even look out. I dont tihnk someone would take time to reproduce little pins.

I am assuming you know this is for the Swedish Nazi Party.
Yes, thank you for clearing that up for me.
You're welcome. Coming from a mostly Swedish heritage, it caught my eye, also made me cringe a little lol.
Thank you everyone.
