Original badge that has seen better days, IMO.

Hi Peter,

An original Brehmer for me as well. Not much original finish remaining, but at least its an original, most Brehmer's we see posted are fakes.

Nice example Jacek.

We are currently working on the PAB database here at WAF, your GAB would make a great addition if you are OK with us using these pics?

Thanks

Almost appears to be ground dug considering the severe pitting on the obverse and the reverse.

I agree with the guys above, a good badge that was very badly stored. As Chet says it might even be a cleaned up ground dug.

Good day.
Thanks a lot gentleman for Your answers.
Yes, this badge is ground dug, found in Belarus,Bobruisk area, where the 9th army was destroyed.
Now I have a hard objective in front of me-get original award docment and case for this badge...
With best wishes
