I see that Andreas Thies has BOTH of Dietrich's WW1 Tank Badges for auction in December.
They come with a lot of other very high quality attributed Dietrich items, including his LAH presentation ring, which he was often seen wearing during the war.
The first pattern tank badge is a real eye-opener.
The second pattern (standard type) is also a real beaut.
Both are made in silver, with the first pattern being completely hand-done.
As far as I know, this is the first time that a first pattern has actually been available for seeing up close.
Also the first time an attributed second pattern has been available for sale, I think.
