Mboxer Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 A friend recently told me, about a particular badge, not to buy it because it was an RS and RS made many of them post war and they were exactly the same as the wartime badges, therefore hurting the value, etc. So my question is what badge or badges does this apply to?

dond Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 You can tell the wartime badges from the post war badges by the catch. Both maker marks, angled and block letters are wartime. The catch is the key. It is a single piece round disk with a flange puncnched and bent into a catch type hook. Very distinct.Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 This one does not have the catch Don is talking about.I think however it is post war and not a fake. don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
