Coburg Badge

[WARLORD]

NEED TO SEE THE VERY SPECIAL VERSION. sILVER WITH RED ENAMELD SWASTIKA.

[Bob Hritz]

Hello Warlord,

I remember handling that special version when it was owned, in 1970, by Bill Rasmussen, of Royal Oaks, Michigan. Bill also owned the prototype Eagle Orders with red enamel. They were special to hold then and would be more special as my appreciation for the truely rare has matured.

BOB YOU ARE SO RIGHT. RARE WAS RARE, KNOW SPECIAL.But were do you find them? The hand made Gold Eagle ordre. The first Olympic games cross.

Bob, (and others) thanks again for sharing one of your wonderful pieces on this forum. Your collection has been a delight to view and makes me ever more interested in the political aspect of 3rd Reich collecting. There were some truly spectacular items which nearly qualify as works of art in this collecting niche. Now if I can only break my kid's habit of eating I might actually be able to afford some similarly rare pieces for my collection!

Fabulous badges! Best close-ups I've ever seen of these. I've never held one in my hand, and I doubt I'll ever be able to own one, but I have a pretty nice original pic of Walter Buch wearing his. Enjoy! Ammersee

After reading the recent Blood Order thread, I thought I would see what is on the forum for the Coburg Badge, and then bring this back up.

As you can see little is posted on the badge for the age of this thread, which speaks heaps for its rarity.

If your fortunate enough to hold one of these in your collection today, regardless of issue, feel very fortunate indeed.

Bob, the finish on your badge for its age is remarkable.

Great badge Stan! When you talk rare this important Political badge comes to mind.

I am curious why the producer of the RZM variation was not required to stamp its permit information on the badge. Who was this producer?

[ErichS]

I have never read who the makers of the 1st or 2nd patterns were. All the first patterns for example have no markings at all.

[Panzer Rob]

These are the 2 versions of the badge. The badge to the left is the RZM type and the badge to the right is the original 1st issue type.

Bob Hritz

Wow... Stunning badges, Bob!

I thought that I would add a pic of my first pattern Coburg badge. The catch is period replaced and the badge was an indirect Vet pic up.
