Hello,

John nice looking item! Can I ask what size is it and what is it made of? I've noticed lately that more people seem to be getting interested in non portable items, plaques and the like and the prices being asked for them seem many times,to me,to be out of bounds. I wonder if it's because so many of the combat badges are being faked turning many away from collecting them and also because of the finite # of ww2 items available in general. At the last few shows I attended(and I don't go to many)I couldn't believe what some of the dealers were asking for stuff. Almost got me thinking about collecting other things,almost...but didn't.LOL Again nice looking item.

Hi Bill,

Thanks. It's about 2" in diameter and 1/8" thick. My guess is that it's alloyed with nickel, copper & zinc

(just an educated guess). Perhaps some other members have some textbook documentation on these

which might describe the metal composition more accurately?

I know what you mean about the prices "being out of bounds." It's a shame but a stark reality.

It's a combination of "supply & demand" and just outright greed.

Appreciate your comments

John

Hey Bill.

Thanks again. I've been on the "prowl" for some new pieces and will

post when they arrive. You are right though, the prices are going up, up, up!

Harder to obtain.
