An original Rudolf Richter & sohn PKA. Stewy

I would like a better look at the die flaw on the headlight if possible. Stewy

It appears that it is a ground dug or very poor storage. It is suffering from zinc pest. You can compare with my silver example posted here.

Hi Ralph, I was thinking similar. Almost a "shed find". Not quite G/dug, but not awfully well stored. Still, better than I'd look bunged away for 70 years. Stewy

Stewy, thanks a lot for your reply and help. It is nice to hear it is original badge.
Ralph, also thanks for your comment and for link to your panzer badge - yours is very nice!
This badge do not look that it is ground find, but I think it was damage because of bad storage I will try to take better closeup pictures of the head of eagle, like you want.
Please my friends, can you also tell me if it is common or less common type of badge?
Best regards
Peter

Hello Peter,
These are not often seen for sale but I would not say they are rare.

Hello Peter,

I agree there. Although it is an early example as can be seen by the minimalist 'Plain grass' pattern (the design is the type 5), and the good amount of bronze finish remaining due to a copper undercoat. Later badges by Richter had a 'Detailed grass' pattern very similar to that found on that other Gablonz maker 'AS in Triangle' and typically have little if any finish remaining having not received the undercoat and the finish being 'absorbed'. The crimping system for the hardware was very poor, and from the get go the catch had to be soldered in.
Regards, Ned.
