Chris Boonzaier Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Don Sent me the following for posting... some nice stuff!
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 11, 2010 Author Posted March 11, 2010 shows you can put anything you want on these....
dond Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Thanks Chris. I'd have posted it but resizing it to my permissions would have left it alot smaller. This was found posted on a Russian Collector's forum by someone else and he posted it elsewhere. I'm sure some people will find certain badges very interesting.
Les Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Don, what is the date of the catalog? Looks post-war. Russia was officially an enemy during the war, and those Imperial Russian medals in the photos would rule out war-time production of the cataloge. In addition there are other clues indicating a post-war. Interestingly, there are Meybauer marked pieces which are not in the -available- photos, for example, the EK's, various Freikorp badges, etc. Whether the catalog had more pages or not is anyone's guess.
dond Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Don, what is the date of the catalog? Undated but the awards are from the inter-war period. Nothing nazi in it. best guess-1922ish to 1933.

True, some things are missing so it probably isn't complete. But what is interesting is what is shown, the Kampfwagenabzeichen and the PLM.
Chris Liontas Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 I am stunned that the Tank badge is on there! I did not think there would have been much demand for such a badge!!
dond Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Not to mention the fact that the badge has the "Juncker" design and not the accepted "Meybauer" design. What does this say about Meybauer marked badges with the "Meybauer" design?
joe campbell Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 this is BEYOND sexy, chris! amazing set you have there don. joe
Biro Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) True, some things are missing so it probably isn't complete. But what is interesting is what is shown, the Kampfwagenabzeichen and the PLM. A Grand Cross of the Iron Cross there as well... Especially interesting to see ANY PLM offered, let alone that particular style of PLM... it's not their more typical one-sided ceremonial 'Godet' style, nor is it the 'S&L' style which has baroque suspension, not pie wedge. Fascinating - thanks Don... Marshall Edited March 12, 2010 by Biro
Eric Stahlhut Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 is that a chilean order of merit mixed in there on post #8?!
Wild Card Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 is that a chilean order of merit mixed in there on post #8?! Yes. A number of these were awarded to Germans; and some have been seen here on The Forum.
Eric Stahlhut Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Yes. A number of these were awarded to Germans; and some have been seen here on The Forum. oh, i know... i merely presumed that they were all produced in chile. interesting!
