    GWL Destroyer - My Best Ever!

    Hi Everyone,

    Here's a recent find: a GWL Destroyer in truly near mint condition. This is without doubt, the best I have ever had. The swas is still mirror-bright.

    According to my source this badge and a HSF (in similar condition and joining me later this week) were kept stored, for the past 60 years, in a cigarette tin, wrapped in tissue paper. Worked well, I think you'll agree. A beautiful badge IMHO.

    Hope you like it.

    All the best,
    Toby.

      Hi Toby,

      Never seen one in that good a condition, nice find. It will be interesting to see if the HSF is in a similar condition and not a schwerin.

                Toby:

                I thought my GWL was pretty nice, but yours is just STUNNING!!

                This is my personal favorite of the destroyer badges as well. Congratulations on your new acquisition. Can't wait to see your HSF.

                    Thanks for all the comments on this one: glad you all like it.

                    It's seeing badges in this condition that reminds you how smart they must have looked when first pinned on a tunic.

                    I'll post the HSF as soon as it arrives.

                    Best,
                    Toby.
