Tombak ?

Yes, some copper-derived metal hence the pin point spot of verdigris.

29 type rare ?

Can't really comment ... mine is a 29 (shown here in a Hauptmunzamt Wien case)

... Awarded yes, manufactured no, many thousands were made.

Looks great in the case ian. Thanks for the info much appreciated mate????

[Ian Hulley]

They were not awarded in a case but some people have come across the mounted types in a case, and always the 'Hauptmunzamt Wien' labelled cases.

The experts disagree on this .... Jamie Cross says yes, Antonio says no.

Looks like a anschluss Austrian case is it the same as them cases? Where would I purchase a case ian

That is exactly what it is ... always the same type with the Vienna label apparently. See what Antonio says before you do anything else

Hi Ian are they hard to find with the maker & what's the price range on the cases you got a clean case there. Like you said shame it's been rubbed off.

[Ian Hulley]

And my Memel collection ...
