Daniel Murphy Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) Don, Fantastic mini, I have never seen one before. Gordon, Great pieces, your 800 silver looks to be a dead ringer for mine that is posted above. Now I have a question. I have seen a few naval wound badges for sale in past couple of years with the background cut out similar to the cut out armies. I have never seen any until then. Are they real and of the period, altered originals or very good modern fakes? I am here to learn too. Here is the picture of one that I saw for sale a while back. Perhaps these are like the Hansen EK1, until recently I had never seen one but a few rare ones were around in collections. These have been seen with both types of swords.Dan Murphy Edited January 5, 2006 by Daniel Murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe campbell Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 dan-while i have NEVER seen one of thesenaval cut-outs, i HAVE seen enough ofthe "army" wound badges cut out that it would not surprise me. it would clearly be a private purchase piece,but not beyond the scope of possibility.i await more experienced collectors' responses.thanks for the pictures, dan.joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
