undoutably original. "Third Riech" should be Third Reich - "riech", or riechen means to smell.

The market has been flooded recently with these type of enamel signs, any originals I have seen tend to have a double border, although not in all cases, you have to be very careful with these. They did exist but allot are now coming out of Eastern Europe. Here is an original with the double border. Originals usually have a maker mark to the reverse, as far as I know Auer of Berlin were best known for making gasmasks. It is possible they made signs as well but these are the first I have seen by this maker.

Thanks Kenny, that's nice to know there were no makers mark on these two.

I have been noticing a lot of these signs lately as well. I have been wary of purchasing them until I learn a little more about them and their constructions methods.
