    1. As I am on a Pat War frenzy...his is a Type 1 variation 3...as it does not have a pin back and the hanger is different from Variation 1 but the same as variation 2 but without variation 2's pinback.......

      Right, now that I have totally confused you............enjoy this great medal...and to think I was miffed when I had to pay 300 dollars for this...I would crawl to the seller to pay this price now!

    2. I don't normally bother with groups if they are not supported by documents, as they could be put together...if they are worth it individually maybe...but normally I give it a miss.

      This group caught my eye...its just wonderful...2 Patriotic wars 1st class and a loverly Red banner bar.

      Nice additional school and Naval vet badges....the paterna is all the same...old and rich...Gerd this will be the first one I will get researched to prove it is a Group...I am sure it is..

    3. Well regardless, the first badge under question does not have the same pin back as mentioned for Type 1 badges. Obviously it was (or is trying to be) a Type 2...Unquote

      Sorry to be pedantic, but it is a type 1 and not a type 2 (Type 2 were screwbacks in the first place), its conversion does not make it anything else but an altered Type 1 Variation 3.

      This conversion is normal as you know , because of the 1943 change in statute for wear, screwbacks with hangers had to be converted. Type 2 were then manufactured without hangers in the screwback mode.

      Variation 1 and 2 of type 1 had a pinback, the number range makes it a type 3 of the type 1, this variation was just that, because it did not have a pinback in the first place.

      It is a type 1 Variation 3 with an unusual pinback arrangement possible made for wear as a screwback.

      The other thing it could be is, a put together piece to deceive, therefore fake and I am wrong!

      Cheers

    4. The pinbacks you are thinking of are not like that in the pictures above. They were like this below .. quite different....unquote

      I am saying this...as you look at the picture above, the one on the left is a Variation 3...because it does not have a Pin back.

      The one next to it shows the area where the pin back was, but snapped off, Variation 2 of type 1.

      As you obviously have PD's book he does state that the pin tended to snap of and why they binned it and made the V3 without it.

      As for the pictures above... they are from my collection and not taken from books.

      Cheers

      Its a type 1 variation 1...it would have had a loop on top for a hanger...very low number...great piece...it has been converted to screwback...I have never seen one done that way before but very nice...

      Yes, some of the enamel has been replaced...boogalooo........no biggie and quite normal.........

      Attached a Typ1 Variation 2 ......the only difference V1 and 2 is the size of the hanger (which is lost in history).......notice the loop and the mark on the back were the pin has broken off.
