IR 134 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Hi pals. Photo of a pin from the estate of Walther Heinert, winner of the saxon golden st. henry-medal. Can anybody give me some informations on it? Is it maybe possible, with the numer on the backside, to find out, at which date this pin was awarded?Mny thanks in advanceGru? Stefan
Dave Alexander Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I don't have the information immediately at hand but from memory I believe this pin is from the 1950s.
leigh kitchen Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) A link to the Royal British Legion Site. Looks like this badge predates 1972, the year that a crown was added to the design & I assume "Royal" added?Interesting list of manufacturers of the badge, & perhaps the site may be able to assist re. the serial number?http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=34303 Edited March 16, 2009 by leigh kitchen
Dave Alexander Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Sent a PM to Stefan. This type of pin was issued 1921-1946, by membership number looks to have been issued 1944-45, after 1946 a smaller version was used but may still have been large ones in stock until all were used up.
