Graf,

 

Nice pictures of the badge.  On my list of things to add to my collection.  Too bad they aren't named although I've seen a few for sale with provenance.  Thanks showing them and for your comments.

 

Blessings,

 

Gordon

Hi Gordon,

Yes it took me a while till i got the Set

The prices of them doubled for the last 1-2 years i was lucky to get them earlier

Yes, I have seen few named ones  single or in a Grouping It could have been nice to have one named. Nevertheless,

My Goal was to get the Set of three. My major interest in collecting is in other areas.

I simply wanted to get Baronet Badge I was lucky to get one named (see my other topic) and The Set of the three models of the Knight badge I am still chasing a miniature of the first and/or second model

 

Hi Marcon1 Thank you for the additional information.

 

I hope any of the members, who has Named Badges will list them  on the forum

 

Here are more pictures of the miniature

 

Regards
