This Question was asked and answered in the WAF thread of which I provided a screenshot. It is to be presumed a interwar piece, for people with a bigger purse.There is also an example shown there without wreath but with different colors, which is to be presumed for the same period and purpose.

VtwinVince Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Alright, screenshots are pretty hard to read, and I don't place much stock in what happens at WAF. Anyway, let me reiterate, in 50 years of collecting I've never seen a period photograph of this thing in wear. Someone please produce the photographic evidence, otherwise.....

Bernd_W Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) The screenshot has a far high resolution, if you save it to your computer and zoom in, its easy to read. Im not interested in this badge or in proving this badge is period or not, not today and not in 50 years. I provided a source of what TWM experts thinks about this badge. If you are interested in this kind of TWM you should contact BrianL. He is also a user here:https://gmic.co.uk/profile/12700-bolewts58/ And ask him in what book its shown. Or you ask Demir, I guess he is the moderator Demir here, and ask him in what of his books its shown. Perhaps you will find a period photograph there, or Demir can provide one. https://gmic.co.uk/profile/4190-demir/ I recommend you to ask bolewts58/ first because Demirs last visit here seems to be a couple month ago. Here are some easy to read (I hope so. Did my best) screenshots with the most important posts in the thread: Edit: Checked the screenshots. If its still hard to read, it will help saving them to your computer and zoom in. Its more easy to read. Edit: The forum seems to resize the pictures, its still hard to read if you save them to your computer. Here a full resolution ones, easy to read at this page: https://imgur.com/a/btKUXFV https://imgur.com/a/0xzAAo3 Edited January 13 by Bernd_W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
