Under UV the entire olive backing lights up so clearly not wartime. Funny that the white stitching does not glow obviously. Any comments>

Hi all. I am sure I will have more luck getting information here than, urm, somewhere else. I got this patch yesterday. Now to my untrained eye it looked good enough to be WWII. The olive backing, the weave, the white bobbin thread on the back. But have had a comment or two that it is post war. Can someone here please tell me what sets it apart and if not WWII what age does this item belong to? I am yet to do UV tests on it.

Can't help with the text translation but I would say that I consider that to be a very desirable piece you have there :cheers:

I really do hope so.

You do manage to find the really high quality ones, Dieter. :cheers:

Please tell me they all went to the same person and did not get split up! If I am to have any sleep tonight! Even if you have to lie...ok just kidding on the last.

Thanks Paul. OK so this one is a solid investment. Puts its rarity into perspective as well. Are these faked yet?

Thanks Paul. Must saw with the history this represents I really find this piece extremely collectable. If I may ask, what would be a fair selling price for this?

Thanks for the info Paul. That is quite a solid investment. But what a classy item they have created for it.

This set of of medals are so beautiful together. Great acquisition Dieter!! Glad they fell into your hands as I know how you treat your babies!!! Paul, what is the award criteria for these?

I love these. Definitely will be looking out for one myself. Lovely item, Dieter.

Hi Paul, what does the inscriptions on the rear of the medal and on the lid of case say?

How beautiful!!!

This is a lovely item. Sad to hear such a nice collection will be split up.

What was the significance of the difference sizes?
