Navy Coastal Artillery

[Alexhip]

Hello,
is it going to be a new one among my KM Badges.
Here it is ( I really Hope, it is OK. )

An early Juncker made Navy Coastal Artillery badge.

Thank you for looking at ...

[Frank Heukemes]

Yes, a GREAT looking original.

Hi Alex,

That's a nice original example, but STILL shows wear to the gilding on the wreath! Finding a mint example of these is almost impossible. You've got the next best thing

Regards

When I tried to remove the museumtag (don't know how people can get themselves to put stickers on such beautys) the blueing lifted so i left it! I think that the damage on Alex badge on the reverse might have occured from a pricetag or something.

Thomas...maybe if you apply lighter fluid or some other chemical to the paper...it will disolve the glue underneath and you can remove the paper w/o any damage to the finish?

PS...great boxed pieces!

Hi John

Good idea - I bellieve one could use oil to dissolve the glue

Cheers Thomas
