Deschler Berlin Roma Hitler Mussolini

[Martin Harding]

Berlin Roma (Hitler, Mussolini)

Below I have posted two Deschler Badges originally Manufactured to commemorate the State visit of Mussolini.
First impressions one may be forgiven for assuming the Badges are identical however the Badge to the left hand side is Cupal in comparison to the Badge to the right hand side which is of zinc Construction. There is also a significant difference in the weight of the Badges............the zinc weighs 4 Grams where as the cupal weighs a mere 2 Grams.

1) Berlin Roma - Cupal version
2) Berlin Roma - Zinc Version

Hello Ron, .........Thank you
yes the two examples that you posted appear to be both the cupal versions and certainly judging by the weight would endorse that fact.
Inadvertently I discovered that Deschler Manufactured Zinc and Cupal Versions of this particular Badge when I was comparing the Two Badges side by side.
