Heer Panzervernichtungsabzeichen, Tank Destruction Badge

[Naxos]

Bought this as a reproduction - the tank it is strongly magnetic - the ribbon is clued to a paper - you can see the prongs through the paper -

Could it be an original?

Is it a reproduction or is it a 1957 variant of the award?

Is anyone familiar with this type of reproduction?

Thanks

Sorry but it is not a pre May 45 strip.

Hallo Jacques

can you post bigger pictures for comparison? its hard to see the difference between your set and the one posted by Naxos

Here is one I used to own.

The tanks look almost identical to me, but the fabric is a pretty good indicator as the two (Naxos' and Don's) shown have major differences. The reverse has a totally different backing material (looks to be wool on the original, can you clarify?) and the first one posted appears to be some type of felt backing. I guess this would be what to look for in this type of badge, but I am with Kevin in wanting some further details (if there are some about the construction of the tanks etc) to look out for in the Tank Destruction Badge, one of my favourites that I would like to own one day. And Jacques, are all of those yours? They are a very nice collection of a not so easy to come by award

Cheers,

Pat

No, they are not mine, but all are originals.

The size of the tank within the silver stripes is a first good indicator, then the form of the tank itself, to cite only twoo points.
