AlecH Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) Yesterday, attended the end of the month military collectors club meeting. Bought a mixed bag of items. A Third Reich fireman's blade made by E u.F Horster Solingen 31,5cm long with scabbard 35cm, complete with scabbard and shoe, condition is surprisingly good, I have to research the piece and find out exactly which model it is. A Woman's printed RAD Cloth Patch 8,5 cm x 9,5 cm and I took a gamble on a badge, roughly 3,5 diameter which I think looking at the imperial crown could be a WW1 Alpen Korp cap badge worn on the side of the cap. I have some researching to do. Regards Edited October 30, 2011 by AlecH
Wood Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 I'm no expert on RAD stuff, but I doubt that this arm badge is real. Regards, Pete
AlecH Posted November 5, 2011 Author Posted November 5, 2011 I'm no expert on RAD stuff, but I doubt that this arm badge is real. Regards, Pete Real in the sense of fantasy piece ? or copy ? Doubt - do you have a single reason ? I did put it under UV light before buying. Best Wishes
Wood Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Hi Alec, Because its printed. (fantasy) All the patches I have ever seen were "bevo" woven. There are quite a lot posted on Wehrmacht Awards. Regards, Pete
