The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Hello.
Thanks for your help, no i dont have any more infos.
Just that is was found at the Oraniumbaum front.
Yup, there's definitely a halo around the Sigrunen on the lower half and around the 'P'- probably on the rest as well, but the light hides it in this photo; that means it's an old disc blank with a patina on it, and more recent stamping has knocked that patina off. And unfortunately the 'G', 'R' and '2' and '3' look just like those on many fakes- here I've superimposed the same characters from a 100% fake SS disc and circled the 'halo':
Sorry Lars, it's a fake.
Ohhhhh- pillage then burn...
Hello Matt.
Sad to hear that it is a copy. At least i got one original Tag few days ago.
And thanks for your great description about the tag.
Good to know next time.
Yeah, it's unfortunate but absolutely it's good that you do at least have one good one
I strongly recommend you ask for opinions first before buying an Erkennungsmarke- the vast majority of SS ones are fake, especially these non-German units.
Ohhhhh- pillage then burn...
Yes sure, i still have no matter what my new original Norge tag
