ccj Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Hi, what’s your opinion on this screw back award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolewts58 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Seems ok to me. IMO a post 1918 possibly unmarked Meybauer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Thanks, I’m sure someone here knows the maker based on the characteristics. I’m not a screw back award expert. My. Main reason for searching out an example is to display on an M16 Bavarian bluse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 What’s the third hole for below the Fak? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giannis S. Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 To me it looks like a second hole for a pinback medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 The tunic has three sewn holes for badges. I assume in order to screw back awards. I believe most often the holes were for screwback awards, and sewn loops were for pin back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giannis S. Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 If so, the third hole does not provide room for another award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 (edited) One hole is for a single post award and the lower was intended for a 2 post award as evidence by the staining and imprint inside on the lining it appears this officer may have worn a wound badge with dual screw post or another award with a dual screw post that also had an oval back plate. I have the advantage of knowing what it looks like inside the lining. I don’t have such a badge collection, so why decided on a screw back FA.
