AlecH Posted October 30, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wood Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I'm no expert on RAD stuff, but I doubt that this arm badge is real. Regards, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlecH Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wood Posted November 5, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
