These police qualification badges have been extensively, and very cleverly, reproduced in the past few years. And, as you point out, are outrageously expensive for the fact that they are simply qualification badges and not combat awards like the Knights Cross and German Cross. The Frontkampfer award with swords is visible proof that the recepient served at the Front in WWI. Yet these awards can be bought on today's market for under $50.
