Gordon Williamson Posted March 21, 2006 Author Posted March 21, 2006 Otto Schickle of Pforzheim. This combines the original 1938 pre-war catalogue with a 1940 wartime supplement. Unfortunately for the conspiracy theorists, there is no mystery about this publication. It was bought from one of Helmut Weitze's site back in 2004. I bought it purely and simply because it identified the probable third maker of the "Zimmermann" type U-Boat Badge (three distinct types being known, two of which identifiable through marked examples as B H Mayer and Zimmermann, the third type always being unmarked). Having got the information from it I needed on their KM badges, and having no great interest in the majority of items in it, I happily traded it for a nice U-Boat Badge whose value was greater than the catalogue. How many other hands it may have passed through since I traded it I neither know nor care. In addition to the more "run-of-the-mill" stuff, Schickle offered the Knight's Cross, SS Long Service Medals with round suspension rings, Pour le Merite, and the Legion Condor Tank Badge amongst a rather wide range of Spanish Civil War stuff.

Gordon Williamson Posted March 21, 2006 Author Posted March 21, 2006 Mounts available with or without medals.
Gordon Williamson Posted March 21, 2006 Author Posted March 21, 2006 Then comes the 1940 part. Interesting to see the Otto Schickle "OS" logo
