Igor Ostapenko Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Very good badge ! IMHO - WWII, Godet
Graf Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Hi Igor, Yes it is very nice In real looks even nicer It is more likely to be WW1 period It is the small type 53 mm x 30 mm German made Stamped, as you see "SILBER" on the top Godet?! Perhaps yes, however without maker mark difficult to say Recently 14 Carat Gold badge by Godet was sold on auction in Germany It was a stunning piece and the price was also stunning Sadly I was not the lucky buyer Graf
new world Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Excellent item, great find - congratulations!

922F Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Terrific! Have been looking for this badge as a single for years...anyone with a spare please contact me.
Graf Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Hi 922F, Thank you for the comment. I also, like you, have been looking for a such mini for a while My latest Red Cross The ribbon looks modern one and not the correct, however this Cross is difficult to get, therefore i can not be very picky

new world Posted October 31 Posted October 31 On 29/10/2024 at 10:02, Graf said: I agree I hope Igor meant something different Cheers Text on the cardboard says something like "Austrian auxiliary committee for Bulgarian Red Cross". Not sure what that means. Perhaps Austrian and Bulgarian Red Cross organizations worked together during the WWI and this cross was to award people who excelled in this work?
Gordon Craig Posted November 1 Posted November 1 Gentlemen, Hilfskomitee translates as "Assistance Committee" making the complete wording on the car translate as "Austrian Assistance Committee for the Bulgarian Red Cross". Therefore, this was a committee set up to do just that. Assist the Bulgarian Red Cross. I am not sure why this committee would be producing these Bulgarian badges unless it were to raise fund for the Bulgarian Red Cross since the card shows a sale price. I don't doubt that this is a Bulgarian badge. Kingdom of Bulgaria: WW1 Badge of Merit of the Bulgarian Red Cross. The badge, with the Crown of Tsar Ferdinand, was awarded to Austrians, Bulgarians and Germans, for meritorious services (or more commonly, for offering significant amount of money) to the Organization. Regards, Gordon 2
