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

Hi Paul the hinge on the HSF is wrong for a zinc Schwerin IMO. Stewy S
Re: Selection of badges !!
Paul,
What has happened to them, they look like they have been in the ground, the Bomber in particular?

Re: Selection of badges !!
I think the HSF is chemically aged. Stewy Sby jock auld
Re: Selection of badges !!
Your right Stewy the hinge looks like the one on the tombak schwerin, not sure whether the wrong hinge has been added to a zinc badge !!
The HSF could be chemically aged which could explain it's condition ,the bomber clasp is ground dug from a luftwaffe base.

Both edges of the O/L wreath's too soft as well. Along with a few other bits. I think it's a copy of the tombak type. Stewy S
Re: Selection of badges !!
Any thoughts on the Bomber clasp Stewy ?
