A WWII badge without a scratch????????????

Please explain...

[John R.]

Plenty of badges are in mint or near mint condition. Naturally, you are right if it is a worn badge, but many were never issued, were sent to next of kin if the sailor was killed, sailors for the most part had 4 or 5 of these things--one to wear, another for a dress uniform, others at home, who knows.

This badge is just fine.

Hey Nordmark,

Do i am new to this forum of KM badges,i am interested in KM for over 20 years now.Genuine WWII items are scarce and for mint items as above non excisting.
When a badge whas issued to KM personel they where obligated to ware it so it whould in the least get a scratch somehow.When i see the real badges of veterans if they still have them i have never seen a mint badge.One of my badges (war wound) came of a veteran along whit the papers and is in nearly mint condition because he had 2 of them and never used the second one,but it is still not mint.Whatever you use and that 60 years ago will show traces of use.I am been following some badges and discussions on this forum and it seems to me members tend to proclaim eachothers badges for real fairly quick.
Maybe for ease of mind and the wallet?
For some reason(profit) the badges have and still are being reproduced in big amounts.I do not proclaim to be a specialist,far from but i have seen to much from the KM to play allong and proclaim this a real badge.Still i am very sorry for the owner but i think (i hope)you wanted a honest answer.
Sorry for my englisch.

greetings
Vince
