Hello , I am selling my Balloon siege medal ,if anyone is interested in purchasing it just PM me. thanks steve

Hi, Thanks for the advice,what price are these usually then as there certainly are not many around. cheers Steve

Rear of ORIGINAL wartime LRDG badge regards steve

Hi Not sure if this will help you.This one is an original WW2 issue i bought through Bosleys.The rear scorpion is dished,no prominent edge to the outer edge of the badge .nicely cut out lettering,correct die flaws etc..very nice and desirable. Your group is certainly interesting and worthy of further investigation..if i had viewed i would have risked a buck or two.. best wishes steve

Opinions please ?? thanks steve not to keen on the shape of the eagle or its tail feathers...and the cross on the crown...maybe wrong as iam still learning from here !!!! anyway let me know what you think ..cheers once more ..

Just spotted this,always thought the pins at the rear were at top and bottom ??? Anyone in the know on here regarding Finnish Pilot badges ??? Is it WW2 period and correct ?? I admit not my area of knowledge though always wanted one ! Thanks steve

Hi, just thought i would add a thread on these as not many survive.Issued 1871/1912 France, Balloon pilots NCOs issue and Officers bullion version qualification insignia. Enjoy Steve

Hello again, yes it is very large 65mm has some indiscriminate makers markings to side and a bronze issue. I bought this about five years ago for ?150 any idea to present value ???? Of intererst i have to balloon pilot badges,Officer bullion and NCO only used 1871/1912 hope you like !! cheers Steve

Recently acquired WW2 combat leather covered tanto,no makers marks to knife,just a surrender tag ..can anyone help with translation please.. cheers Steve

Hi, My memory is not what it was,but i believe it was over six years ago if not a lot more.Iam aware these are heavily copied It may be right or a wrong one,i am no expert but i still adore it,as i think its a great badge.As always everyones opinion on any badge is valid,having studied the forum sites discussing WW1 Vets panzer badges i dont think anyone is 100% sure on which examples are period,some are obvious copies but others i have seen you just have to marvel at !!....blimy what a minefield ..worse than WW1 pilot badges !!! best wishes steve

Hi, If anyone can add any info to this man i would be pleased to hear from you,obviously he served with the balloon section during the siege of Paris which would make a relatively common medal a rarity. hope you like Steve
