I have a badge numbered 1394 and a booklet numbered 1669

They came in one buy although the numbers do not match.

very cool-who is that man?

[Stogieman]

Does anyone know the whereabouts of badge #2124?

[Ulsterman]

Ok- I HAVE to ask....."why do you ask"?

[Stogieman]

Hi Jeff, I think I screwed up the number.... I believe I have a document for 2142, not 2124.

That would have been cool

[Stogieman]

The award booklet in question. There's a heavy embossing of an image of the badge right into the back cover!

[Stogieman]

Interior of the booklet:

[Ulsterman]

Good God! Where did you get that!??? :jumping:

Do I read that correctly that his Mum was Jewish?

[Stogieman]

The "Other, other Rick" is convinced that is not his Mom's name........ but rather his before he had his operation!

This came from our good collectcing friend Farkas in Hungary. I don't see a copy of this in Charles' book.... I don't know if anyone else has one??

[Ulsterman]

Well, I do not. I have the cards, but not the passbook.

Wow!

Was that hiding in one of the tubs? ...underneath all the Bulgarian stuff?

[Stogieman]

Negative, came from Hungary

On the third page of this thread are the examples I have in my collection and Gordon's as well. On page 231 of Elvtars - there is an example of the first pattern award document. Sorry guys, I only had so much space to work with and chose to go with the image of the "ultra-rare" rather than the "harder to find" type.

In addition I have just aquired #558

cant moderate and add to the list anymore

[Ulsterman]

You have #558!?

Do you know who got it?

Man, I wish they had put award dates on the books.

[Stogieman]

Apparently I am still having trouble seeing all the images that should load. I totally missed the booklets on page 3!

Very nice indeed!

[Zsolt]

Gents, This is the lowest number I have ever seen !

[hunyadi]

I have held #1 in my hands - its in the National Museum along with Maleter's Partiszan Badge and medals.... I wish we could have been allowed to take photos....

[Gordon Craig]

Charles,

That was a really good day. I wish could have done something like that maore often although we did have our days!

Regards,

Gordon

[Stogieman]

I just picked up my first matched, numbered set! I'll get scans up as soon as it arrives!

[Stogieman]

Please note I have updated the database with all current numbers on this thread through 9/25/12

I have also changed Type 1.3 to "Probably Soviet manufacture" per Charles. I was fortunate to speak with him today!

[Stogieman]

My New matched set #4302. Bright silvered background area.

Detailed images of set #4302

I also acquired this pair of badges. Note the hand-scratched number on the reverse.

[Ulsterman]

wow!!!! -where on earth did you get THAT???? :0

[Gordon Craig]

Stogieman,

I echo Dan's comment. Would love one myself.

Regards,

Gordon

Well I was able to negotiate a substantially lower price for this one and It has arrived. Almost coal-black with tarnish, I believe it to be real silver. The flash is similar to felt and has been formed and stitched over a piece of cardboard. Charles felt the flash would represent an infantry soldier who received the badge. very happy with this, it's beautiful. I've added details to the list and an additional image below.
