PRÄWEMA Markneukirchen screw nuts - what is this?

[Tupper]

I found this two screw nuts in a box full of badges. To what kind of badge do they belong? Just saw the normal ones without any maker mark.

Tupper,

These screw nuts probably predate the BRD and DDR era.  Prawena has been in the badge making business for a long time.  I can not say off hand exactly which badge they could belong to.  Perhaps someone else, such as Nico, can add some more ideas.

Regards,

Gordon

That would be very interesting! Thank you ?

In his calalogues about DDR (GDR) decorations and medals Frank Bartel classify these nuts as "Typ 1", a srew with a large base and the nut with PRÄWEMA. "Typ 2" is the same screw and the nut without any marking.

The time range is from the 50s to the 60s.

Thank you Uwe. If I find this badge - has it a higher value for collectors? 

[speedytop]

Im Prinzip ja!

There are several different badges with "Typ 1". They are mostly older than the same badges with the other Types (2 - 5), and yes, they normally have a higher value. For the differences you need the appropiate catalogue from Frank Bartel.

OK I will look for those badges. There is a big box full of those clasps. Maybe I'm lucky and find one. ?
