I would question John's posting back in 2009. In his master list of badges he sent to me for my data base and trying to identify some of his unknowns, John lists this as #03444 (30) Bartels (group). There is no evidence he had the 24mm even if there is one pictured in the picture he posted. He never changed his listing of that badge number.Originally posted by der-hase-fee View PostThis is what it is today:

I shared tables with John at every SOS for the last 10+ years, stayed at the same hotel as he did, had dinner each evening and during the last few years of his rapidly declining health, helped him load and unload his van. He was offering to buy and sell GPBs at every show. His list never approached the 150 or so badges he is reputed to have said in that video from the Max Show. The photo he posted in 2009 shows less than 100.
As for the missing lapel pin from the Beverungen group, I can only surmise that it was misplaced because of size buy either John or his daughter gathering his collection.Comment

That's interesting: Posthumously awarded, to be kept by the family. Badges could be in pristine condition. But the editing just sucks.Originally posted by Ostmaerker View PostComment

No, not posthumously awarded. The man was a "normal" holder, but died early. So the badges were sent to his wife. And the editing was made officially by the "Kreisleitung"Originally posted by der-hase-fee View Post
