I´ve got this tank badge out of an private estate. It seems to be bronce but it is very shiny. It was packed in that little cloth bag. What is your opinion about the authenticy an what maker would that be. Thanks in advance.

Hello there,

Looks like a heavily polished "daisy" with a poorly replaced reverse pin. Something seems a bit off with this one.

Hi William,

I thought it might be a S&H..Schäuerte & Hohfeld, not a Daisy....but yes, heavily polished....and lack of detail on the lower left wreath leafes

Tobac S&H with a replaced pin. It does appear to have been polished.

Nice original early tombak S&H. Twice as rare in bronze than in silver!

That's why something was a bit off, thank you!

Hi guys,

A nice S&H for sure, but I agree that the pin is certainly replaced and that it has been shined up. In that case, are we sure it is a bronze grade, and not a silver that has been polished so much that all the silver is gone?

It is definately a bronce one. I can see that on the back holding the piece in hands. Thanks gents for your opinion.
