Recent Acquisition

[tgn]

Picked up this lot of medals and badges in a trade. The lot came from a picker who sold it to my friend for $250.00. Anyone want to see some close-ups of any of these?

The IAB on the left looks to be a Post War Souval and the one on the right a Wiedmann.

I would like to see close up and reverse pics of these two.

Sure. First the one on the left... (BTW, it doesn't look like a post war Souval to me)

[tgn]

now the one on the right...

Looking at the KM badges, it seems you have a nice Schwerin HSF badge and Auxilliary badge looks very promising as well. I would recommend to post close ups of these in the KM forum.

[Giel VW]

Yes! Would love to see the right PAB, the GAB and the AC

[tgn]

No problem Giel. First the panzer badge...

Now the general assault badge...

BTW, who made the infantry assault badges and the panzer badge?

BTW, who made the infantry assault badges and the panzer badge?

The first one you posted unfortunately is a hollow fake of the RS design...

The PAB is made by Schickle.

Hi Tom,

Yes, the IAB is a fake but all the other look good so far. Especially like the Weidmann IAB with rarely seen wide pin.

As Giel says, the PAB is a nice early Schickle

I agree with what has been stated...The hollow is a fake and the obverse design is copied from (my opinion) the Post War Souval examples.

The second is a wide pin unmarked Wiedmann Design example.
Normally, when found these are in worn condition and are known for having a "ground dug" appearance. Yours is a nice example.
