The Coburg Badge

[chen]

Thank you, Chen.

The CB area seems slow these days. Nothing much turning up.

This think in a better way.
Nothing much showing up may mean the badge is drying up.
So good new for those already having it, especially those having them.
Monopolize!

I'm looking at both BOs and CBs on the market, Chen.
A BO was recently sold on e-stand; and another sold on the e-stand a couple of months back; but no CBs ever sold on the e-stand.
Perhaps exchanged hands behind the curtains and it speaks the scarcity of the CB badge itself.

There have been several Coburgs sell on the e-stand but not recently that's for sure. Few years back before they were popular one sat for weeks with numerous reductions.

[Military]

I stand corrected, Jon. Indeed no further Coburgs have been sold on e-stand in recent years.

If I remember correctly they were 2nd pattern badges for sale on Estand in recent years.

If you attend any of the major shows you're lucky if you see one CB. there was one 1st pattern at the SOS and it's now up for auction at HH and there were no CBs at the MAX.

How many 1st pattern BOs have been seen for sale on Estand?

[Coburg]

I am currently considering selling my BO and CB. There is interest from a number of dealers and auction sites. I suppose you have to weigh up charges against what you'd realise on e stand. Decisions decisions.

For anyone interested, there is a great article on Sister Pia in the current issue of The Military Adviser by member Jeff Hanson with some nice photos of her wearing both her CB and BO.

Thanks for Jeff Hanson showing Sister Pia's BO/ CB.
Anyone knowing the name of that fellow to her left( marked by yellow arrow)?
Thanks.

It looks like the buyer bought the badge and not the story.

[chen]

Intermission: Anyone knows who is that person in post 1447?

[Military]

Yes, buy the badge first, then listen to the story later. Mil

Another pic of Schaub wearing his CB.

Karl Schegk's CB is available - along with the cover letter for the citation, but not the citation itself - for 15,500 Euro from FS.

Now where did I leave my checkbook...?!
