Matt, I almost went back and change my guess to an invitation.....Oh well, that's the way it goes....Bodes

911 uber alles

You got it more accurately than I did when I first saw it. Thank God for online translation services.
My understanding is that quite a few of 'the old guard' found work with Porsche after the end of the conflict. Some pretty big names. But anything directly connected to the good Dr. is a bit scarce. I gather the 33-45 section of the Porsche Museum is rather thin if it even exists.
Must be bad for publicity these days...

Matt, that is so cool! I'm gonna have to go out to the garage and take the one off my old 928 to see if it's marked!!

Best,

I still maintain that the 944 and 914 were made under threats to the Porsche Family. Or while experimenting with drugs- you know those rich eccentrics.
Either way I was unable to find who allowed the name to be used on that thing but Dr.Panzerkampfwagen or whoever was in charge at the time should've suffered the consequences over that one.
Same with the ass&ole who put the Benz W220 into mass production.

I never took the badge off myself but when one of my crests were stolen (yeah, newest Rap Star needed one for his necklace or an album cover when I was getting comfortable choking at the popcorn @ the cinema) I had a pleasure to dish out $120 I think. Only thing it said was "Made In India".
But depending on the year you just might be pleasantly surprised
Military medals are not the only thing not immune to low quality as the time goes by I guess...
