Nice badge ;I have not seen any 3rd. Reich awards marked sterling .I have seen the more common 900 & 825 silver content .Does anyone know if there were any other badges marked sterling?

My question as well. I've never seen a badge marked "sterling" before.

This is a rare beauty!
This is a Japanese production silver badge for the vessels operating in the region!

I really like those Sterling Silver awards that were made in the East.

Really?

I don't collect KM badges but I would like to know more about this particular badge. NEVER have I seen a TR produced badge that was marked "sterling". If Japanese produced (the badge does show an oriental influance), I would expect it to be marked either 900 or 1000 as was normal for that period of time (1920's,30's,40's).

If real, please provide more information as I would like to know more.

Regards,

Chuck

Hi Guys,

They've been discussed many times before. Here's one thread:

You can read more about them in both Gordon's and Sascha's books. Naturally there are no examples of other lines of war badges like this because this was a unique (and well documented) circumstance.

Best regards,
---Norm

P.S. Congratulations Matthias!
