What can you guys tell me about these two?
I'm pretty sure they would be 50s-era issues and if so I'd expect a stamped design with a sort of mirror reverse. If I'm right about the 50s date I'd also expect a screwpost and plate, not the 60s/70s pin.
What do you think?

Avers 8 does verify the pinback mounting system. No reverse image, alas.

Thanks. I see some major differences on the reverse.

Here's a set I lost out on eBay recently. Wanted to add the images before they disappeared.
I think they are all good, and now we have seen quite a few different variations.
BTW, this set went for a whopping $75. (My high bid was $53 :( )

IMO, this should be moved to the (non-fake) badges section for reference there.
Unless someone spots something unkosher.

Eric, 1 and 3 could be variations I haven't encountered before, but I don't feel good about them.
It was the wear on #3, the non-mirror reverse, the uncommon(ly faked(?)) nut markings, and a gist I got on a Russian forum that had me feeling that $50 was a safe number for me. Although there certainly are red flags there as well.
Also, this came as part of a huge lot from the same seller where he a lot of good stuff and no obvious fakery.
Not that that means anything.

Here's another image from ebay:
Wildly overpriced, IMO, at $80, especially considering the damage.
I'm adding the image just to have a reference of images for this seldom-seen signals badge that I'd really like to get.
