Rosenberg Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 Hi,can anyone tell me what this is,apart from the obvious lettering.Thanks
Guest Rick Research Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 An EXTREMELY expensive private patriotic/? Red Cross contributions pin.P?llath/Poellath of Schrobenhausen is probably the best known "non House Jeweller" Bavarian badge maker, best known for their WW1 aviation badges...and the endless debate about the inconsistencies in how the firm spelled their names! Then there is the just resolved "issue" of their 1944 contract Westwall Medal packets-- which got the TOWN spelled wrong! This is the EARLIEST date-able "C."arl P"oe"llath spelling I've encountered.
Stogieman Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 And a very nice piece at that. very nice indeed. I have seen many similar ones, but never one quite this elaborate!
Rosenberg Posted September 4, 2005 Author Posted September 4, 2005 (edited) Thanks for the reply,really appreciate that.Do you know by chance a name this one goes by?With expensive did you mean then or now? Regards Edited September 4, 2005 by Rosenberg
Guest Rick Research Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 Oh, then. The average patriotic lapel badge was not silver like this. This is a very splendid "tinnie" indeed.Now? No clue. Unofficial pins like this aren't in the price guides the way official awards are.
Rosenberg Posted September 5, 2005 Author Posted September 5, 2005 Thanks again.Appreciating your help....Regards
