      An Illusion

      With all respect to my old friend "Dr. D" he is offering a mere illusion.

        That Osang mark makes me wonder on the above badge. I didn't think
        any were maker marked.
        I've got this one. It's not a zincer like above.

                    Final Score

                    I wonder why the pictures did not raise any comments, though I am amazed, that so many of us believes in this badge (just my humble opinion...)

                    #1 21% Believed in it!
                    #2 50% Beleieved in few specimes
                    #3 29% declined the idea of war time LW tank badges.

                    ...71% of us thinks one original may be found...

                        For what this is worth...

                        A number of years ago I found one of these badges at a flea market.It was in a small brown cardboard box that had no markngs, of the same type that were used for Kriegsmarine badges. The badge was zinc, without any maker marks. It was wrapped in the usual brown tissue paper often found being used as wrapping inside the boxes of the late war period. It was ugly, but it looked to me to be period, having characteristics that I associate with wartime produced zinc badges. However, it appeared that it had never been out of the box. I thought that if examples had been made, perhaps this one was taken from some place where they had been stored. I decided that it looked to me like a period badge, and I purchased it.

                        I subsequently showed it to Bill Shea. He examined it carefully, and told me that it was, in his opinion, the only example of the badge that he had ever seen that he believed was an original World War II period piece.

                        I subsequently sold it some time later, and unfortunately that was before digital cameras.

                        Ultimately, though, I'd like to see a photo of someone wearing one.
