Hauptmann Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Hi all, I just received this along with several other pieces as a gift. I'd like to confirm if it's original and any other info possible. This is the first TR screwback award I've ever owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauptmann Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 This actually appears to have been a hollow back originally but had a back plate added. You can see the seam in this next shot... it goes around the entire rim of the badge. As I've had no experience with these any info would be a huge help... again assuming it's an original. I don't know if this was done factory or was converted later by the original recipient or what. Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping one of you can help out. Thanks!!!!

joe campbell Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 pictures a bit too dark, but yes! this is a good piece, private purchase. you've got a nice original, uncommon badge, dan! joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauptmann Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Hi Joe, Many thanks for the confirmation on this one. I'd really hoped this one would be okay so I'm very happy it worked out. Plus I haven't had the best of luck with the few TR pieces I've run across these last few years so this is very welcome news indeed. Thanks again!!!!

Dan my pleasure! this is a bit of a holdover from imperial times, where they are relatively uncommon, so TR is even moreso. most likely officer grade for tailored uniform, but i can't swear to that. a very nice addition to your collection! joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
