Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen Rudolf Karneth?

[jamoros]

Hi guys, what are your views on this Badge?. Seller says its a RK. I have compared it to other RK s and seems to be ok. Is it me or on the back of the badge, upper right part there is a slight crack on the joining point?, also is the Eagle s face kind of shattered and smashed?

Hi there, yes it's a ball hinge Karneth. Stewy

Thanks Stewy, if I may ask, is this a piece you would add to your collection, besides the fact that is a Karneth? (is it a crack on the back and the Eagle s face?)

There are literally hundreds of these on the market at any one time, I personally would wait for one that looks less like Rocky Dennis, but that's just my opinion.

Thanks Ned, that is indeed what I will do, specially knowing that there are many others out there

Hiscoll has several RK GAB's right now, although the finish varies considerably. Best hang fire and wait, it won't take long.

No rush mate, sooner or later I will get a nice one, even if that means paying a bit extra

If you look & are lucky you can find boxed examples. Whether ASA & box are "married" or have always been together, I've no idea. Boxes I've seen them with are the "cloud" type. Stewy

Check out JP Militaria...He's got several GAB's...This one here is priced well at 115 Euros, for example...
