Badge Kampfwagen-Erinnerungsabzeichen

[j-sk]

Hello,

About 35 years ago, when I was a young tank commander, I bought the following badge in a shop in Thun (Switzerland).

I bought it because it reminded me of my dauntless "predecessors" who were stuck in uncomfortable noisy tin cans full of grease and smoke.

The badge is plain silver and weighs 29 grams. 

Please note: it looks slightly rosy on the pictures but this is a mere effect of the light. It is in fact more blueish.

It has no markings and I am not sure about its originality. I personally regard it as a copy.

Could anyone confirm?

Thanks

Jean-Samuel Karlen

This looks to have the 1957 period type pin on it. Not an awarded piece.

Agree, a copy. Nice space filler if you need one.

I have seen the following badge for sale, lately.

But... Original... or Copy...?

I believe this is a Morgi copy based upon the reverse set up.

Hello Gentlemen : take a look to site German Daggers com , into it to the Forum and iside this to Imperial combat badges .

GDC would be the last forum I'd go to. WAF has several good threads on these.

I dont understand the contempt about German Daggers .expresed

[dond]

They are a great forum for discussing daggers but lag behind others when it comes to badges etc....

Both badges are fakes.
