3-Badge Matched Set of GPBs

[Br. James]

Dear friends,

Another friend just sent me this link to a dealer in the UK offering a 3-badge matched set of GPBs: http://www.theoldbrigade.co.uk/shop/shop.php -- what do you think? I may be having a bout of "old-timer's disease" but the small badge bearing "Deschler München" within a box on the reverse looks wrong to me... Am I just mis-remembering, or should the name ONLY exist on the pin plate itself, if there at all?

Your response is important; it may cause me to hang my loup up for good!! Thanks, friends,

Br. James

Everything's fine with the set. Pricey, with the current exchange rate. There is one other 3 piece set being offered at this time, for slightly less.

Good news on the 51792 set: 1) It's attributed; 2) There is one more small Deschler just like the one shown here out there somewhere (alignment of numbers slightly different) ....

I agree, nice set!

This set was sold at Kassel to one dealer then to another so the price is already marked up twice

Here is another 24mm with the same Deschler marking in a cartouche.

Thereafter is my four piece matched set (poor photo) having one of each variety to include the Deschler cartouch marking.

Matched 4 piece one each of all of the GPB varieties.

Matched 4 piece one each of all of the GPB varieties.

That owner must have been a collector himself John

John,

that's a stunning 4-piece set.
