Wound badge, war merit cross and submarine look promising, but you have to get better pictures. Straight on shots of the front and the back are absolutely necessary...

Welcome to the Forum. I look forward to seeing better pictures and the backs. Sometimes the back tells all.

SWB should have a tiny 100 stamped into it on crimp around catch.

Europe sounds like a TR gold mine!

For us the other side of the pond sounds more like a TR gold mine

SWB should have a tiny 100 stamped into it on crimp around catch.

That is correct Sir!



Interesting to see a controversial French made uboat badge found on a fleamarket! Can I ask, did you pay a realistic price? Did the seller knew what he was selling?

Could you post better pictures of the panzer assault badge please?

There are several well known fleemarkets around Paris, of which Saint-Ouen, Paul Bert. Few French dealers have their shop there (H&C collections , etc..). Did you got your stuff there?

Fleas Market

Insignas were found on a local Fleas Market near Paris (about 50 kilometers).
To answer to Jacques (from N.B Forum ?) nothing is coming from those famous parisian shops wellknown for dealing fakes coming from east Europe.
Several insignas where sold before during last weeks on diferent local Fleas Market by the same dealer.
About 30 insignas where found in an old farm.
The price was 150 Euros (100 US dollars).
For comparaison i add french manufactured KM insignas with boxes.
Anyway thanks for your opinions.
SWB is marked 100 near the prong.

you´re lucky, i was some months ago in saint ouen, and i didn´t find nothing. only a dealer shop, the prices were not to much expensives.

Sometimes in Saint Ouen or Montreuil you can find nice items.
This year in Montreuil a pair of German Jump Boots 1st model where found for 20 Euros !!!!

Congrats on the great finds Raph, but ummm...I think you better check your conversions again...150 euros is NOT 100 dollars US.... But I sure wish it was! I could afford to buy militaria from Europe again!!!
