Bob ! That`s for sure . But I`m a patient Collector , one day one of them show up . And it is only to be the fastes to pull the "trigger" . Just like last Friday , I have been hunting for a Maybauer Observer Badge for since 2000 , and last Friday I got one .

Hi Bob !

Hi Gene !

The Hans Gnad LW Para badges is beleived to be fakes , at least the few I have seen . But JFS should have made LW Para Badges , but I think these are very rare . I have never seen one , only scans from a book or magasin .

Jan Arne

One more pics of case .

Jan Arne

The Right of the Two Cross was also cased . And I beleive that the Case is a authentic one , even if the Cross can be doubtful .

Back of unmarked PAB in Silver .

Jan Arne

And here is one unmarked in same design , beleive to me made by Karl Wurster .

Jan Arne

Michel ! Thanks for info .

I assumed that it not was any known U-Boot Awards made by Aluminium . But it is always nice to get confirmed .

Reason I ask was that for many Years ago , before I was able to go online on Internett . I had one U-Boot Badge in Aluminium or an other Aluminium Alloy . Other Collectors here in Norway ment it was a fake , so I sold it as a Fake . Strange is that I have never seen any of them later . Detail on front was a bit soft , and pin-setup was like on a zinc badge .

But sadly I have not any pics or scan of the award .

Back of "KWM" PAB in Silver .

Jan Arne

Von Luger !

I know about that theory . High Resulution scans of this "wide" pin PAB was sent to Frank H. for 3-4 weeks ago . And I`m open for all theories about the makers of this design PAB . But I beleive that it was more than one maker that used this design

Here is a "KWM" Karl Wurster , Markneukirchen made PAB in Silver . It looks like Tombac , But I beleive that it is a zinc PAB with some kind of Copper coating before badge is Silvered . Can they have done this to get a better and longer preserved Silver finish ? Badge is to heavy to be "kupal" and it has no sign to the"sandwich" one sides .

Here is the Norwegian NS Frontkjempermerket " Front Fighter Badge " . Marked with Silver stamp 830 S and "W" beleived to be the maker .

Awarded of Norwegian that Volunteered in Germany duty , also some Swedes and some Germans awarded Frontkjempermerket .

Most of the Norwegian Volunteers was in Waffen - SS .

As a note ! A Norwegian News Paper showed today pics from " Kaprolat " and " Hasselmann" where it si beleived that about 140 Norwegian was killed in fights against the Russian Army Midsummer 1944 . Several "Headscalps" and rests of German uniforms is lieing around in the area 60 years after the War ended .
