Elephanten orden

Hi Guys

I have this badge and haven't seen one like it before, it is marked 800 below the pin catch, private purchase piece perhaps?

[VtwinVince]

Very unusual, but of nice quality. I've never seen one without the ges. gesch. marking.

[Patrick W]

thanks Vince, its certainly an odd one! anyone else got any ideas on it?

I have to say I don't like this one. From the reverse, the edge is rough. And I think the "800" stamp was merely added to give a false sense of security as a marked piece. When EK1s are 800 stamped the quality of the clasps are better as well. This one doesn't have a quality distinction I would expect in a special order piece.

I'm not sure, but Claudio might well be right. I'd rather pass here.
