You are right Chris, but it is a nice one.

Vielleicht noch anzumerken: bei den Kraftfahrer-Vereinen waren nicht nur Kraftfahrer organisiert, sondern im Prinzip konnte dort jeder Mitglied werden, der zu den Verkehrstruppen zählte, also bspw. auch Angehörige der Kampfwagentruppe. Übrigens: habe in meiner DB nachgesehen: kein Meißner.

It is supposed that this one was made by a jeweller, because the Badge Looks like the one from the Award document.

Yes indeed. Also sold in a Thies auction.

Both good ones. One was from Feldwebel Egger and one from Volckheim.

As far as I remember it was Larsen himself, who mentioned in 1935 that Maybe 120 were awarded. Later I read around 100 and it is stuck at 99.

Oh he does. Page 1871. He says 99 - like all others.

Yes. But I was asking for the Kampfwagen Badge.

Hello Deruelle! Thank you. I was aware of this book, but …. my Hindi ist better than my French. Are there any pics or informations about the Kampfwagenabzeichen?

Puh … I have to search my database, but as far as I remember, I haven't saved the Pictures, because in fact it was a typical US-fake from the 1970s with an AWS marking. You can find those with different markings from nearly every manufacturer.

Hmm …. I've never seen an AWS from that time. Also I have never seen a badge that could be an original with AWS markings. But I have seen a fake with AWS marking in the past. I am still looking for Juncker and Godet catalogues from that period.

@dond: I am happy about every Information about the badge - wether it is about an original or a fake. Usually I should be aware about every thread regarding the Kampfwagenabzeichen in each of this Forum (because I am a member): SDA - Sammlergemeinschaft Deutscher Auszeichnungen, GMIC, Landships Forum, MFF - Militaria Fundforum, Wehrmachts Awards, Feldgrau Forum. My main forums are the SDA and the Landships Forum, which I use to visit on a daily basis. All others I visit every 6 to 12 months and then I search for KWA-related threads. But sometimes I miss one - like the one you ma

Thank you. This thread is new to me.

Yes indeed - that helps

Thank you for sharing the 2nd pictures. Also a good one. So sad that you don't any measures nor weight. About the "myth": we will see in the future how it turns out.
