How does this one look and what is a reasonable price for one of these?

Anybody....is a guy just taking his chances buying one of these?It's for sale and I thought it would be a cool piece to add to my small collection of WW1 items.

Looks ok to me. Is it magnetic?

[stephen grund]

I don't know, I just asked the seller. Is that a characteristic for an original badge like this?

Looks OK< as old made - but these cut out pieces were made for the private marked (also after the WWI). Awarded ones were always plain and of iron/steel (magnetic).

Ya, once I found out these were not wartime pieces, I decided to look into getting the other type. I just bought a DRGM marked BWB that's very cool. I would rather have something that was awarded around the time of WW!.

Hi,

please notice, that the badge was establshed in March 1918 - a few months before the War gone to the end. But it was awarded up to 1930's, so most awarded pieces are in fact post-war.
