Kenny Andrew Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I would tend to agree with Scott, have you got a picture of the back of the badge? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewy Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Sorry i'm not keen. It appears to have a copper back plate. Also,off the top of my head i'm unsure who this would've belonged to. Considering the awards on the stick pin. Stewy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 it is also poorly done. Remember stick pins were often made by local jewellers to show off there skill, sell to locals and provide a private purchase item to wear on civilian clothes. the quality of those pins and how they were soldered on is terrible. If you had those level of awards would you accept such a poor product? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritz Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Interesting combination. Poor workmanship and copper was never used, as there was no copper available, and copper did not have the right look about. All copper products are modern fakes, they use almost nothing but copper, as they are not able with primitive means to work other metals, which are also harder to obtain nowadays. Most fakes are made using Galvano-Technik, or are simply crudely cast. Note: Copper was mainly reserved for munitions, etc. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Not really into the stick pins, but from the ones I had previously, the craftsmanship was always very good. I would be wary of something like this in the future. Also that many put together also seems like a warning bell. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I'm with everyone on this. I havn't seen one, but panzer badge & infantry badge. Iron cross 1st & 2nd class which I think you have to hand in after winning the KC, with knights cross ? Wolf. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
