Hi Eric,

I have seen this pattern before on Imperial Silver wound badges in 800 silver. I believe a badge like this was in a recent auction.

Because of the reverse hardware, I have always wondered if this piece could be by Godet. I know that Godet has a different type of WB. But still... I've wondered.

Which Godet?

Which Godet?

You're right: I have to be more specific.

I meant J. Godet, who also made the oval-disc screwback.

Hi All
thank you for your comments and great examples.
I saw the one with "Silber" marking on MB's silver example.
but how about others without silver marking?
does my example (Without marking) a silver made example with gold finish?

thank you

The asterisk/star marking has been identified as being for Godet (on Imperial flying badges).

Interesting.

I thought the asterisk simply meant "not silver," and was used on many different makers' badges and awards. Is there a specific thread in which the connection to Godet was made?

Thank you in advance.

Nice WBs, noticed there's no weephole in Erics GWB. 'Silber' and 'asterisk' i usually connect to CF Zimmermann but their 'Silber' mark looks different, MB's one looks engraved. Since there was a clear connection between Gebr Godet and CFZ in WWII, one might wonder when it all started, maybe already J Godet had a thing for CFZ.
