The Coburg Badge

[Stan]

Hi Stan,

Were you also looking for a second pattern CB?

Mil

No, I already have 1st and 2nd Patterns.

Hello Stan - Just wondering if you could post photos of both of your coburg badges, please?

Thanks, Stan.

Cheers,
Mil

Mil , Stan has posted them in the past . Are you going to buy the one in the next HH sale, you still need one right?

[Military]

Hi Jon,

It won't hurt making a bid on HH but I dont really need the accompanying badge I guess; and not keen to break it up either. Haven't seen Stan's first and second pattern badges and will check it out. Thanks Jon.

Thanks Stan.

I now recall seeing your pieces and the new addition which was a cased piece that was priced a princely sum of 15,000 Euros .
Thanks for sharing the pics again, Stan.

IMHO, I think the RZM 189 variant would be second to most desirable being the first pattern largely due to the fact that it has been less seen than the RZM ones and the RZM with a 189 marking actually fulfils the standards of what we would expect from a badge when it had a larger production run - stamped with approval from the RZM office and the 189 numerals which i suspect would refer to the manufacturer's mark. Of course I don't have definitive proof but to each his own opinion.

So we have two variants of second patterns. A few just with RZM and only one posted (in this thread) with RZM189.

What price was Frank S asking for his 189 marked Coburg Badge?

Is there any explanation for the defective swastika? The finish appears intact, but a hunk of metal is missing. Whatever the reason, it is still a fine original badge.

Hi Jon,

What do those morse code symbols mean?
I have only seen one RZM189 badge on this forum whereas the rest are unmarked RZM pieces. Does it mean that the RZM189 version is rarer? In fact only one RZM189 and now another one has surfaced, compared to a dozen first pattern CBs? Does anyone have more info of RZM189 pieces?

Keep calm Mil. I decided to wait to post my information, if at all, after I send some e-mails first.
