I am still figuring out what the relation with a cross is.
But those holes in his eyes gives it a really funny look

Is there anyone who knows more about these?
To me it looks like that bloke died drinking to much Wiskey

And the seller say, and I quote:
"This item depicted in the images is a rare original German WW II "Condor Legion" tank badge".'

But you forgot to read the rest:
"Estimate price for that nice item is $30.000+".

And now I see that the seller is the same person that started the thread!

Why post it?
To make some extra advertisement?

I just realized the same username as well.

With all those holes in the badge, I am surprised it wasn't advertised as an ultra rare miniature SS pasta strainer.

It must be original, other wise he would not charge 18K $

So it is really a bargain, some one could make a fast 12K $...hurry up guys before some one else get this idea

PS It is really amazing what some people will try to sell.

What about a nice and rare Luftwaffe Honor Clasp from the same seller ?:

Another TOP notch piece!

OK fellas, here goes,..............I just saw this planchet on eBay a week or so ago and had planned on bidding on it but I forgot about it. Unfortunately I deleted it from my computer after the end of the auction and can not find it in the completed listings so I could post it here (I can't remember the auctions title). I believe this fellow may have been the one who won it and although this seller is way out of line, and doesn't really know what's going on, not to mention that the price he is asking is WAY to high, this is yet and still an unfinished planchet of a Legion Condor tank badge of which original examples have been linked to a war time manufacturer (WIEDMANN). Wiedmann has finally been given credit for it's manufacture after years of controversy. They have been linked to one another because of the type of pin and hinge that these are affixed with and the logo used by this firm on other badges of their manufacture (IAB's,PAB's,and GAB's). This example has had the holes drilled in it for preparation of it's final hand finishing with a jewelers saw (once the outer flash has been sheared away). This type of badge is a recognized, original variation, of the LCTB and can be found in Angolia's book "For Fuhrer and Fatherland" (pg. 41), the M. Tucker book, "German Combat Badges of the Third Reich"(pg. 94-95), as well as the new book by Adrian Forman, "Bravery Courage and Valour" (pg. 88). There are also a few knowledgable and respected collectors on this forum who have original examples of this particular badge in their own collections. I myself have sold such a badge to Stephen Wolfe recently and am in possession of another at this time. It is also known that the die for this badge wound up in the possession of Rudolf Souval after the war but his examples are quite discernable from the earlier made pieces.

I look forward to further discussion of this planchent and hope that WAF owners of one of these "original" varients chime in.

Regards,

Chuck
