The Coburg Badge

[Jon Fish]

Hi Jon, Nice pickup - does this have a replaced pin?

Mil

No, not at all. the fixing method is also similar to Hakans, same residue around the join. Also as Hakan points out there is a double knurle to the pin, I'm not sure that's something I've observed in the past but must admit to not studying stick pins in depth.

I see you're starting to get the Coburg fever Jon! A nice pick up BTW.

Change of mind ? A couple pages up you said you do not like the gold finished minis.

For me I prefer the bronze version but both are good. Same flaws etc.

Hakan, inspired by your new item I decided to get myself a Coburg stickpin.
This has a gold finish, I think Hakan yours might have even started that colour and worn. The same flaw appears on the lower swastika arm on both pins. Welcome feedback.

Very nice Jon. Here is mine that came with the 1st. type.

Very impressive pair Martin and the first time that I have seen a card like yours from the event that the badges were awarded and thanks for posting them!

Great items mate, impresive indeed
Your pin has the same flaws as on mine and Jon's, very easy
to spot on yours aswell ! If you want high res. Pic on my and Jon's pin for comparison just PM me your email.
Thanks for showing mate !
Cheers / H

Btw. Martin, does your pin has the same double ridged knurl ?
Hard to tell from your pic.

Thanks guys. Hakan, yes the pin is double knurled.

[Jon Fish]

Martin, you inspired me to shoot mine today with his big brother

One further image to prove that lighting can change so much an items appearance in photographs.
Great that all 3 pins featured here in this thread have the same unique characteristics.
The pin I'm showing came originally with a large 1st type Coburg badge, the same estate, but owner unknown.

Great pics Jon
Now I just need to find the "real thing"
Cheers / Hakan

A really nice shot of Schreck wearing his CB. This photo is dated 1933 which was a year before the BO and GPB were awarded.
