lew Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Gentlemen, can you help to identify the maker of this badge? and from which time frame it was made? thanks! Edited February 17, 2022 by lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 These come up from time to time, sometimes with more than one silver content mark. I think they are period private purchase pieces and are of high quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 Found a similar piece from Flying Tiger Antiques, interesting to read about the badge being Austrian made. https://www.flyingtigerantiques.com/beautiful-early-wwi-prussian-observer-badge-austrian-made-in-925-silver-named.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Hmm, that's an interesting example with absolutely genuine engraving. I don't know how the Austrian conclusion can be drawn. Austrian import pieces generally were marked accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
