Looks like all these KM badges were bought by a soldier in the same souvenir shop

Very interesting. Not the first time we've seen U.S. vet bring-back stories accompanying the French-made KM badges.

I'd like to know more about that Juncker-marked piece -- I'm not familiar with that one. Also, is there any way to read the label on the cardboard carton underneath the tape?

Best regards,

Ah, I see. Abzeichen für Wehrmachtsgefolge. (Thanks Skip )

The Box states: WALTHAM First American Watch.

Thanks. A quick search shows that the American Waltham Watch Company was in business from 1850 until 1957, so that's an interest vessel for the collection of insignia.

Here are a couple of ads from 1946/47.

Could you also please show the KM enlisted man's embroidered breast eagle, front and back? And the reverse of the metal breast eagle?

Best regards,

As requested photos of the eagles.

[mwliles]

Now the metal one.

[mwliles]

One more.
