Look like 'stick pins' that men used for their ties back when. I had several gold/jeweled etc 'stick pins' when I had an Antique Shop.

Thanks Bob for corrected your opinion. |

The post looks kinda modern.
But, don’t know if real/fake?... typical value?
I’m going to sell it. No history, it was in a box of VW stuff I picked up somewhere.

The badges are real Rob. They were produced from original dies. If they were put on a car for judging.......the car would not be judged down for reproduction parts.
Where there is a problem is....... Were they originally issued by VW....?
Probably not. The early badges had much better detail and the body badge was hallmarked. The more dies get used, the more the detail fades.Badge collectors do not find these nearly as collectable as the 1953/54 VW issued badges, but they do have better value then the mass produced fakes that are out there. I would use them as "place holders" until I could find an early issued set.
