SS Mess Dress Insignia

12-04-2011, 03:57 PM

Dear Fellow Forum Members,

I have absolutely no experience with these badges. I am trying to help a friend determine if this badge is original. From the original examples I have observed in various reference photos and here on the WAF, this badge does not conform to any of them. Also the maker mark and date seem a bit odd to me, but again, I have no knowldege when it comes to these badges. The dealer who is selling this badge stated that he had glued the red fabric on the back since there was evidence of glue remnants on the back of the badge. Everyone's valued input would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks in Advance!
Dave.

Thanks Ian, just as I suspected. And the dealer stated that it is a GUARANTEED ORIGINAL.
