As he was Prussian I would say it means V(erdienst) Kreuz and it means "Verdienstkreuz Kriegshilfsdienst". It was awarded like the Iron Cross until the mid 1920ies. 

Thank you.

When will you be in Munich? We'll drink some Weißbier together.

May I ask for measues and weight? Thnak you.

Well ... found this thread today by accident.

Withou seeing the front of Ralphs I can't judge it, but all other tank badges are fakes. 

Thank you very much!

Do you also know how much it is worth?

Regards

Chris

Oh, I have seen a price. Thank you!!!

Dear all,

I am interested in an arab/iraqi medal on ebay. My problem is: I don't understand a word arabic. So I am not quite sure if the medal is what the vendor says. I anyone able to help me with the writing on the reverse of the medal?

Thank you very much in advance!

Kind Regards

Sorry, but it is too small to identify. But ... it could be white-blue which is Bavaria. So it could be a Bavarian Freikorps or a Bavarian citizens troop.

Sad to hear. Let us know when you sell something. I you have anything related to Kampfwagen, Tanks or Armoured Cars, please let me know.

Hope your invome will increase soon. Due to Covid-19 I had to change from selfemployed to emlpoyed.

Kind Regards

Chris

Pictures from the back available?

I don't like the ribbon - looks new to me. The cross itself: well .... it looks like the ,odern copies, but ... not 100% sure.

I would agree: all modern fakes

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 made me aware of it. So at this point: Thank you again!

I am also looking for all (!) informations in books or magazines from the past - especially in the time from 1921 to 1945. Also like manufacturers catalogues. I am looking for stories, pictures, manufacturers - everything.

Well … of course most of the informations I receive, I do allready know, because I am doing the KWA since 25 years. But sometimes I receive new Information.

So let me know what you know. I am happy for any Information.
