Tank Destruction Badge in Silver/Black

Tunic

Thanks Jacques, the eagle appears to be reapplied but it still displays very well. The tabs and boards are original, I imagine TDBs had to be removed (usually they were made to) after surrendering like other awards and the eagle.

Tunic TDB

I did not purchase the badge from Weitze. As noted it seems more expensive than it should be for what it is. I should have the tunic tomorrow and can measure the ghost. I still am in the market for a decent badge, if you guys can help me find one that would be great.

Other TDB

Albert has this one for sale. I think it is a much better example.

Very nice piece and in terms of condition I'd say perfect for your tunic. This is the backing that I have encountered most often, followed by the navy blue/black wool.

IMO should be around $800ish+.

For those who PM'd me regarding the example with the green cotton twill shown below I did get it back. Please e-mail me at soldat4@cox.net & I will send a mass e-mail to you later tonight.

Thanks, there is a problem with insurance and mailing military items from Germany. I am still looking.
