WOW!

A 1918 badge is the holy grail for Stahlhelm collectors! Congrats!

Are the badges engraved?

[Sergeant 08]

Fantastic!

It can only exist one better badge. The badge of Franz Seldte.

Thanks for showing us your treasure!

A friend of mine, an Ortsgruppenführer from the Stahlhlmbund (from the postwar Bund), owns 2 of the large size and one of the maller size 1918. One set is from Fahlbusch. In total he owns near to 200 of the badges with year-numbers.

The shown set is great! From the seventeen first badges I m aware now of 5 from the bigger size 1918, existing in collections.

Fantastic badges of great historical importance.

Congratulations

Sorry, I made a mistake as the one was not from Fahlbusch, but Görnemann!

[jabnus]

Absolutely amazing!

I thought these were sold on the site, but great to see they are now in your collection. For sure the dream of any SHB collector!

best regards,
