Ferg1 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Here are some marine observer badge variations to look at. Top left is a well used badge by Hugo Schaper of Berlin. Originally a standard pin fixing it has been ' field altered ' to a double screw disc fixing. Next to that is another screw fixing badge in some sort of bunt metall (this badge is in Niemanns 2nd ref.book) has a scratch engraving on reverse ' CZECH ,FahnzS. it too started life as a pin back but now sports a later oval TR plate and screw. Third is a nice hollow two piece Maybauer in 900 silver,marine badges are rare in two piece form, and of course the half-size piece in 935 silver.Ferg1.

Steve K. Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Exceptionally nice!! I am in envy of your collection! I can't tell you how long I've looked for quality pieces like this! Stunning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Nice double-screw back badge. The meybauer is fantastic as well. The D-S configuration is pretty unusual and hard to find. Only one I ever had was an Army Observer. Here's an image just to compare the arrangements on the back. Your's might be missing a backing plate???
