RNLSGC Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 This is outside my theme of collecting but couldn't pass it up. At the time I wasn't sure which country this represented but have since determined that it is Latvian. Anyone have any thoughts as to time frame and/or authenticity? They are approximately 2 and 1/4 inches across. Thanks for looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacHel Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I can't copmment on authenticity or era, but I most definitely agree with you... They are quite irresistible! Very nice find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I can't copmment on authenticity or era, but I most definitely agree with you... They are quite irresistible! Very nice find! Muller is the correct manufacturer for insignia of this period circa 1930 (he was the manufacturer of Latvian orders). From the photo I would give it the benefit of the doubt as I am not aware of Latvian badges being faked, if they are it's a realtively recent development.

RNLSGC Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 TacHel and Paul Thanks for the compliments. Paul, thanks for the vote of confidence on it being original. I, like you, have not heard of them being faked like their counterparts. I know that it was very difficult to even identify the wings with there being so little information out there.
