The Coburg Badge

[M. Zimmer]

A CB stickpin attributed to Ernst Lieberman, with Silver mark 900 was sold at Militaria Berlin 2 years ago

[Reinhard2]

I don't like this pin in 900 silver. The details are not clear at all if you compare it for example with the miniature of the first type. Silver is the best metal to copy badges because it doesn't shrink.

Can't really see the pin properly, unless someone has a better pic?

Note that the rear has a broken pin and not even the numeral 1 was stamped. Of course this was only meant to be a "prototype".

Mil

very interesting. is that the only example?

It was meant to be a "prototype". I don't believe in it until more information surfaces. As for how many examples, I guess this was the only one available on the market at that time.

Not sure if anyone has seen it yet or not, but a Coburg Plate is coming up in the next Ratisbons auction.

Thanks, Gary. Thanks for keeping track.
So about 20 plates in existence between 2-3k each.
