Paul L Murphy Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 It would be good to post photos of the reverse as well since the makers' marks on the back are always a help in dating the badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieC Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hello Bill,I would like to add to your thread...Here is an example that one does not come across very often. It is of superior quality IMO and was made in the workshop of the famous & long time Estonian maker Roman Tavast.After the war, his workshop became Soviet property and was renamed Metallm?rk.
