Medals and badges collection

[Marcel Banziger]

These are very hard to date exactly but my opinion would be very late war.

Here are some of my WW2 Medals, Defence, Capture and Liberation medals. Some, with Photographs and Documents.





Here are 3 awards: Liberating Warsaw; Defending Caucasus; Capturing Koenigsberg and Capturing Vienna.













One of my favourites must be the Capturing Vienna Medal. A Document, awarding to Captain Roman, Eduard Arvidovich of the 61 PABr, 16 ADP, 27 A, 2 B.F.

Have you research the medal bar with three combat service medals?

Just added this wartime Excellent Firefighter Badge to my collection
Not a common piece so pleased to see it pop up on Matts site

I am sorry to say but it is a postwar badge. Still a very nice one in great condition with only minimal chipping to the enamel.

Edit: here's mine which is a wartime badge. Look at the top of the badge which shows the difference between wartime and postwar.

I asked Matt and he confirmed wartime

I will ask him for my money back

Thanks Marcel

[Marcel Banziger]

I am surprised that Matt says it is wartime since it is 100% postwar.
