Award hoard

[jacquesf]

I stumbled across this guy selling some awards. Most are obvioulsy rubbish, but some might be OK. As this is the unkown for me I thought I will run it pass for opinions. Rahter safe than sorry. There is some serious fantasy badges like Luft GAB 75 and 100, Air sea rescue etc. How is this one? Many thanx . Jacques

Post war pin catch....

Jacquesf:

The 'pin catch' you see on the back of that (repro) Panzer Assault is a well-known 70's pattern that was found on a lot of reproduction Third Reich badges of the Army, Luftwaffe & Kriegsmarine.

We started to come across these on some of the Infantry Assaults, General Assaults, Flak Badge, Panzer Assaults, etc., around 1976 in our area & once you see that "cut-out" style you'll never forget it. No one would solder one of these catches on an original badge that lost it's pin catch, so any badges you come across with this 'catch' are definite "reproductions".

A typical fake Souval catch.
