Then I was approached by a local collectors shop owner who proceed to try to describe and draw some German badges, The drawing looked like a Jewish star with (he said) a silver bullion swastika in the middle.

So I ended up with an near mint Army DK which I have been wanting for a long time, plus a near mint Navy, or panzer, its hard to tell the correct colour of the backing cloth on this one.(but I don't care)
