JBeltram Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 (edited) Hello folks,Here is my Ground Assault badge by M.u.K.5. This badge was captured by a relative of mine.This is one of my favorite badges (for obvious reasons). It makes a great companion piece to my para badge.I would love to see other ground assaults, so please post them on this thread.Regards, Jody Edited February 14, 2007 by JBeltram
Paul R Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 That is a very nice one! I love the fact that it has kept much of it's original finish!Has there been a story passed down with it? Please tell!
J Temple-West Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Just before I pop off to the land of G.H Osang..Night all...
Paul R Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Wow!!! That is NICE!Mine is only a zincer... but it has that "been there" look.
Paul R Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Did this particular badge belong to the NCO in the photograph?
J Temple-West Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Did this particular badge belong to the NCO in the photograph?Unfortunately no, Paul. Juncker. This is only the second example I?ve seen with the ?Schwerin? type pin.
J Temple-West Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 The next two, commonly referred to as ?Maker unknown?, are both in zinc (as are all LGAB?s) but come with different finishes. The first is nickel plated; the second is finished with a later war, frosting. As far as a possible maker for these badges is concerned?Having seen more than one these badges in original paper bags, I think it quite safe to say that the maker is ?Arno Wallpach, Metallwarenfabrik Salzburg?.Obverse of the early nickel plated type.
J Temple-West Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Paper packet marker stamped 'Arno Wallpach, Metallwarenfabrik Salzburg'
Paul R Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Here is my only one... not as spectacular as the ones I we have already seen, but real.
buellmeister Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Gentlemen, Here is my one remaining Ground Combat Badge for comparison. It is what I am to believe an unmarked Junker. Unfortunately, the piggy-backed Eagle is missing and the clasp look's repaced. All in all, I love it so.Regards,Joel
