Here's something unusual that came in this week.

Cheers

Reverse unmarked except for the usual on the pin plate.

Don, very nice.

William is going to want to see that one.

[Avitas]

Yes, that is an extremely nice badge

The construction appears to be very heavy and some intricate detailing there. Where do you keep finding these Don?

Cheers,

Pat

[Scowen]

Thank you Gentlemen. I forgot to say that it's 27mm across, so a tad larger than a party badge.

Joe,

I hadn't thought of that, I'll put it up for William on GDC as I don't think he comes here.

Cheers

Don How on Earth do you find those? Is this badge for a shooting competition or is it from a training facility? Would you know what the wording on the top of the badge means. I found Ehren which means honorary and nadel has a number of meanings none of which have anything to do with shooting. I like the placement of the Hakenkreuz. Not too overpowering but there just the same. A real beauty I have never seen. Bravo!

[Scowen]

Thanks Robert. I've no real idea what it's for, an Ehrennadel is just an honour needle (or pin). I assume it's either for a distinguished member of the Th?ringen D.Sch.V or perhaps a prize in a competition, but I don't know.

Cheers

Don
