Coburg Badge for Review

[ErichS]

You're so right, Mil! It would be wonderful if we could find the historical lists which itemize the various numbered awards, including the Gau Badges, the HJ Golden Leader’s Sports Badge, the first two numbered SA Sport Badges and the several other numbered badges and awards which provide a now-mysterious number which obviously linked each of them to a master list...lost somewhere in the mists of time! It would be great if a list of named 2nd Issue BO awards could be found, and a complete list of GPB awards from the files of Der Ehrenzeichenskommission in Munich!!

Best wishes, my friend,

Br. James

The list of names is known for 2nd pattern BOs but we don't have the key that matches the names to the numbers on the medals.

Right, Erich...It would be great if such a record of names AND NUMBERS turned up! Right now, even though we can check for a name in Patzwall's referece work, we can never be certain of what BO NUMBER that person held.

Cheers,

Br. James

Hi Mil,

I fully agree with Martin's and Tony's comments and I hope and trust that all is well with you and yours! While I have long recognized that the CB is one of "The Holy Trinity" of foundational NSDAP awards -- the CB, the BO and the GPB -- I have never owned a CB, primarily because of the cost but also because of the rarity of original pieces and the inability to connect a particular person with a particular badge.

I'm sure your badge will sell quickly and again, I wish you very well indeed.

Hi BR James,

Yes - I hope the badge will sell - I had lots of interest and some interesting offers, including a trade for some badges but I would prefer an outright sale (or maybe a two-part layaway). Big items like this rarely come up, so the interest has been good.
