Panzerkampfabzeichen in bronze by wurster

[KSH]

i like yours stewy, overall i would rather bronze badges to the silver for some reason, and bronze badges are becoming more scarce looking around

cheers rory

Well, I prefer the Silver as these were the ones that the Panzercrews proper were issued.



I do like the S&L design Stewy, but I just feel more drawn to the FLL personally

I have a similar one I will try to get pictures up later today. Could anyone give a price range expected for one in this condition vs one in similar appearance but without damage?

That Is a beautiful badge ! I envy you very much ! Do you know why the hole is there ? Still a great peace tho ...

Kind regards

simon i can tell you mine cost 100 gbp with the damage so i would say a good example would go for around 200 maybe all depends on condition and variant

At a guess Alex,i would say the hole was drilled through from the obverse to attach some form of catch. Whether it be the original or a replacement. I've seen awards with this trait before. Stewy
