Here is mine, mm 50. Don

I'll second that one.

I want to thank everyone for thier comments. Discussion is how we learn and God knows I need to learn. For me this is an excellent badge. The wreath is iron which accounts for the slaggy look on the back. There are no cast lines or pitting to indicate a fake. The zink cypher has a bit of deterioration that I will treat. The whole badge reeks of age. It displays the effects of being almost 100 years old. I think I will keep it. Thanks again. Don

Side shots. I'll take some pics tomorrow. thanks Don

Thanks Rick. I still have a chance to return it. Don

The reverse. Don

Hows this baby look? Don

Thanks Jan. I do like it and it will do until I find an aluminium one. Don

Thanks Rick. Don

How does this one look to you guys? Thanks Don

Here is my silver Hessen Bravery medal. Notice the 990 mark at the bottom of the reverse. Don

The reverse. Don

Too bad it is zink.

Nice awards Ralph. Don

The reverse. Don

And if you can stay alive you might earn one of these- an FA cross 1st class.

Did I miss something or did we forget Oldenburg? I have a couple of babies from them. First up is the second class FA Cross with "Vor Dem Feinde" clasp Don

Wow. If I could only get my whites that white! They must use Calgon. Don

Nice award. What is the difference between the 3rd and 4th classes? Don

Nice Front Fighters Clasp Rick. Don

Nice badge Marcus. Don

Tony, I'm not too keen on this one. The enequal gaps on either side of the head and the noncurved lower edge of the wing make it suspect. Hopefully Gordon can give you a better read on this one. Don

Rick never ceases to amaze me. He should have an Honorary Doctorate in Obscure and Arcane Facts. Don

The reverse. Definately an ugly badge. Don

Nice PAB Jan. Here is his poor zink cousin in bronze. Don
