Opinion blockade badge and box

[Thunderdutch]

Dear collectors,

I would like to ask you for opinion about Blockade badge and box opinion. Thank you

Hi,

I don't see any issues with either the box or the badge, which is a tombak example in really nice condition!

Regards
Mike

I agree with Mike.
Nice set there.
Maybe you could find a nice Schwerin miniature to complete the set if it did not come with one ??

Cheers,Martin.

I agree, a fine cased set! Condition is very good.
I would also go on the hunt for a miniature in similar condition.

Hi Guys,
I agree about the badge, it's very nice tombak Schwerin BR but I have serious doubts about the case... does not look good IMO. I would post it in the packet forum for opinion.
Cheers,

Hi Guys,

As Hubert points out, that’s not a Schwerin case. I think it’s just mismatched — it looks like the A.G.M.u.K. Type 2 case as described in this thread:

The direction of the diagonal ribbing of the cloth inside the upper lid is opposite what is typically seen, but I don’t think that’s a deal breaker.

Best regards,

Thanks Norm Indeed it looks like Agmuk case but I thought that these are much darker, almost black and the color of this one looks navy, at least from these images.

That's a good point. I don't actually own these so can't comment definitively, but it's possible that the "Type 2" case isn't as dark as the "Type 1". (Either that or it's all differences in lighting and photography.)

Here's Thunderdutch's example next to the reference photos for the two types of A.G.M.u.K. cases
