j-sk Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 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?ThanksJean-Samuel Karlen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRBeery Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 This looks to have the 1957 period type pin on it. Not an awarded piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Agree, a copy. Nice space filler if you need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dond Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I believe this is a Morgi copy based upon the reverse set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
