Wow, beautiful..!! :love:

Mike, wow, super!

Thank you..

Can you tell us some of the characteristics?

Windu

Thanks Pete..

Well, since no maker, it will be difficult to know what the manufacturer is..

reverse..

Hi, this is my first WW2 black wound badge, opinion please..

Is it good? what's the maker? Early or later production?

Windu

Dave, yes, the ''war'' between bidders can't be avoided..

Anyway, can someone guess it's entire value??

wow, that's very nice, fantastic!! :love:

wow, very nice find..!!:cheers:

very nice badge.. :cheers:

Wow, unique medal from US,

what's the function of that "blitzbundel"??

Post it under wanted section..

FYI: Thailand is not East Asia, it's South East Asia..:whistle:

Let's wait for the picture..

NO PICTURE = HOAX.. :cheeky:

it looks OK to me

A beautiful badge..:cheers:

Now i just have a WW1 EK2 on a 3place medal bar: WW1 EK2, Hindenburg Cross w Swords, and Westwall medal..

Okay, i'll try to borrow a good camera from my friend...

Cannot see what's what Windu! And I doubt anyone can help you much with that quality of "scan".

Try a flat bed scanner or if its a camera, then try to focus. I'd half say that was a pic taken a low res webcam or a mobile phone

yup, 2MP phone camera..

The reverse is also rusting (just some tiny rust on 12 o'clock arm..

The area of oxidation (inner the black line)..

Here's my scan, sorry if it isn't clear enough..

Yes, some tiny rust in some places in the core:

1. Front:

a. In 12 o'clock, 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock core arms, near the frame (near the spaces between the frame and core, i think the humid air is concentrated in that space!)

b. Between swastika's lower arms (7-8 o'clock)

2. Reverse: in the 12 o'clock arm near the frame..

This is my first EK, and my only EK2 from WW2 period, i really love it.. :(

Eric, what's that?

I never see it before here..

But the bicycle chain lube/oil is easy to get..

Windu

Thank you Jim..

The humidity is not as extreme as Singapore..

The sea air in Singapore+humidity levels is very high, while my place is far from the sea..

I haven't framed my collection, I still place it in the open air, and some in bubble envelope.. :speechless:

Thanks all,

3 in 1 oil? Mm, i ever saw my mother use it for her sewing machine..

I hope i can get a good camera to take photo of it (2mm phone camera can't provide clear image)

My WW1 EK2 is not oxidize, while my WW2 EK2 is oxidizing, they are in the same room and the same place, how it can be?

Is it caused by the quality?

In last 6 month i feel that my place and surrounding is humid due to the climate..

Thank you Jim, but unfortunately i have no gun oil..:blush:
