Stan Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I bought my Condor Legion Tank Badge from Adrian Forman in 1992. He describes it as a Portugese manufacture 1st Form. Here are the photos. Note the replacement pin/hinge. The catch is original to badge but has be re-soldered.Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHE Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I think the first type of badges never had catch, badges have been sewn to a uniform.P.S. Gentleman's, excuse me for my EnglishJacque's photos: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 looking at these early badges, they all have a fragile attach system, sometimes repaired. This could explain the Spain period pics showing it sewn.jacques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Stan, could you make a close up of the top part ?jacquesJacques,I'll do that in the morning when there is more light.In my opinion, the pins were so poorly affixed on these Portugese made badges that the recipients had them removed and better hardware put on. Forman shows a similar badge in his Vol 3. book that has the pin and catch removed and holes drilled into the top and bottom for sewing the badge onto the uniform for security.I think that my badge originally had a hinge at the top but it was soldered on and therefore easy to remove without trace.You cannot see the catch on my badge too well but it is identical to the one shown earlier and attributed to Lechner.Regards,Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHE Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Without a trace it is impossible to remove a pin of SILVER sign.Silver enters reaction with solder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Here is another shot of the catch which is identical to the catch on Lechner's badge shown in post#65 and Che's post # 91. A pity that it is covered in solder-I will probably get it fixed properly.Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
