Brunswick Hussars 50 Year Traditions Skull Veterans badge

[Aldo]

I just received this rare Brunswick Hussars badge awarded to veterans of Husaren Regt. no. 17. The badge is in excellent condition only exhibiting faded colors on the front of the ribbon. you can see the vibrant colors are intact on the rear. the skull is unique in that it has the inscription on the cross bones. Robin Lumsden has posted a photo of similar awards on a table from his advanced collection so I know I'm on the right track with this pick up.

Regards, Al

Thank you Gentlemen. I owe it all to Robins previous post, otherwise I would not have known what to look for. I love this forum.
Cheers, Al

Great collection.
I hope to have one of my own sometime soon.

I've always like that picture of Robins. I've had a copy saved to my files for probably
the last ten years or so..

Just out of interest ………………. here's the thing that the badges in that picture were photographed sitting on top of.

It also has its very own little TK !
