Naxos Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 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[attachmentid=48886][attachmentid=48888] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev in Deva Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Not original.They must look like these onesHallo Jacques can you post bigger pictures for comparison? its hard to see the difference between your set and the one posted by Naxos Kevin in Deva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Here is one I used to own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avitas Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 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.
