Yeah, I have several items, all real. I had a very reliable dealer that was an old guy with direct contacts with dealers in Europe he had dealt with for decades. He would put in requests and would sometimes have to wait many months or even years before a medal or badge of some hard-to-find items could be located. He retired years ago and so I've never purchased an item since.

My prize is a 20th June '44 Assassination Attempt Silver Wound Badge, with paperwork from the German War Museum saying that the piece meets points of authentic known examples. A fake copy can be seen here (sjsmilitaria.com)

I'm also really fond of my jewler-attached WWI Iron Cross First Class with WWII First Class Spange. You can see an genuine example here (wehrmacht-awards.com)

Nice. I've a few badges, but all the real stuff is hard to find. There is a lot of re- enacter grade pieces, but nothing beats the real deal.
