Here is the back, again, ugly pin set-up, bad re-soddering.

Hi, any ideas on the maker of this badge? It is unmarked and has a badly damaged/repaired pin/catch/hinge set-up. I have another like it I will post also.

Here is the back, R.S marking.

Hi, I've heard various opinions on this specific badge. Some say the round R.S. Rudolf Souval badges are all post-war. I've also heard that 1944-45 used the round markings. Any ideas on it?

Thanks,

Pat

Here is the back, with the C.F. Juncker marking. Are these replacement pins, or late-war?

Thanks,

Hi, here is my CCC in Bronze. It still has some of the bronze colour on the outer leaves on each end of the clasp. Also a C.F. Juncker with the unlevel "NCK" in Juncker. Any opinions on its originality? Again, I have just joined (just discovered the site today, I am a frequent user of some other forums, but have never posted) and will be posting many items on the site.

Thanks,

Pat

Here is the back, with maker marks C.F. Juncker. (well known error on original items). Again, I think it's good but I have only been collecting for 4 years, so any advice is appreciated.

Thanks, Pat

Here is my Jucker Close Combat Clasp in Silver. Appears good to me but I would appreciate any opinions. Has quite a bit of dust/grime build up in crevices. Thanks,

Pat

Here is the back, pin obviously replaced/repaired. I bought this and a few more off of a 82 year old german dealer here in Kelowna who recently started selling his collection.

Here is the front.

Hi there,

Here is a pic of my anti-partisan badge. I have researched it and it has the correct off-centre beads in the knife handle, the die-flaw on the skull, the right skull, hydra's tongue is split far back, back is slightly scooped. It has some ver de gris. Is it real? It appears to be die-cast. These are scanned, does scanning work better? I am new, any info would be appreciated. I have a large collection to display and I look forward to your opinions and insight.

Thanks,

Pat

Hi there, had a question about the Schwerin Blockade badge. Is it rarer to have one with the "scooped out" circle on the back? I have one like this, not in zinc, I believe it has some copper in it. Is this early, or are there fakes of this "scooped back" version? Sorry for the bad pic, I will have to take better pics. Please reply if anyone knows.

Thanks,

Pat
