Laurence Strong Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 (edited) Some bigger and more detailed pictures of the GAB would be helpful. Edited February 19, 2007 by Laurence Strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bifter Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Hi! These are all Nicholas Morigi replicas!!!!! When i was a child i started out on 3rd Reich replicas & his were the best quality available, but somtimes rather stupidly priced!!!!! Examples of these were what my paper rounds payed for. I still like some of his stuff; the 1944 wound badges are very good copies. I dont like the shiney silver finish in the centres though, so i paint over them with humbrol silver 'enamel'; then i rub the paint off the lettering & date to reveal the shiny silver. I am left with a more 'origional' finish!!!!!! The genuine ones, which most of us will NEVER be privelidged enough to own, had a matt silver centre in the field & shiny siver lettering & date. These guys in your photos usually cost about ?25 each; hope you were not 'burned' on them!!!!!!!?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know someone did pay a "bit 'o money" for them! I feel sorry for the poor fellow.Cheers,Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
