UNIQUE! NKSiG GWL/ RC

[mmiller]

First one of these I HAVE EVER SEEN.......A GWL CCC with the RC makermark overstamp. I have a GWL P/O with the RC overstamp, and have seen a GWL/ RC Air Gunner too. But not on a Nahkampfspange.
Opinions?

Regards,
Mark

Is this the one thats on the german Forum. Over there he******180;s already removed the gold paint and the marks a lot easier to see.

Hi Skip,

I appreciate the link, but I can't figure out how to get in? Can you copy those images and import them here?

I have the badge in my possession, so don't know how the images would be there.

Nice clasp. Please excuse my ignorance, but who/what is RC

Thanks.

Hello Mark,
I am also member of the SDA - please can you post pictures of the other overstamped badges?

Thanks -

Skip,

I have made the makermark image B/W and attached it to the thread started.


Scott,

Nobody knows (yet) for sure who or what R over C is? The best guess might be some distributor who 'farmed out' the GWL merchandise. It definately is NOT an employee of GWL, who finished or 'proofed' the badge. The fact that the RC is so large and almost totally obscures the GWL logo really makes me wonder what is going on?

Regards,
Mark

Eduard,

Can you confirm whether my posted images ARE in fact the badge as on the other Forum?

Thanks,
Mark

Standby for other images. I've now got to photo and import.

No, they are not the same. I hold the one mentioned by you in my hands, before Dirk ( Wotan) bought it.
I never saw a CCC with these overstamp before and would gladly see some more pics of badges stamped with these letters.

Hi Mark,

Very interesting, never seen it before either. You say you have other badges by GWL with the RC stamp over it? Which badges, I've never even heard of that before...

"Edit", Oops, sorry Mark, just reread your first post and saw the other badges you were talking about. Very interesting. Any other firm in Ludenscheid with RC initials??

[stdub]

Mark,

would it be possible to see shots of the other badges you talked about?

Thanks in advance.

Best wishes

Interesting... look at the 'C' in post 10. Is is tilting to the 1 o'clock position. The 'C' in post 1 is tilting to the 11 o'clock position. That makes me wonder if the 'R' and the 'C' were two different stamps and somehow 'hand tapped'?

How do you "over stamp" an impressed maker mark with a raised maker mark? Someone would have had to rework the reverse die.
