I am though of the opinion that this is the 1957 issue , (Still very rare and very hard to find and I may be wrong and it might be an earlyer one )

GBP £ 500.00 (UK Pounds)

The cross has a cast in eyering and even the loop has turned silver on this example.

A good looking badge. £275.00 (UK Pounds)

The reverse also shows a hook repair and that the rivets have been tightened to the badge. The badge has an early eagle on a later style of wreath. Other than the wear and tear, which is only noticeable from the back, the badge is in good condition for a used and worn example. Ideal for anyone that needs a tunic badging up, this item has bags of original character with the "been there, done that" look to it. Not a mint badge, but if only it could talk!!

GBP £175.00 (UK Pounds)

(K233) An Italian Medal being the type often encountered for Addis Abeba and shows a colonial troop running carrying a rifle and a machete and wearing a fez.

The medal shows a colonial troop holding an enamelled flag of blue and yellow for the 38th regiment to one side and to the other, it has the royal eagle with the shield to it's chest and two enamelled bars of yellow and blue as well as several battle honours listed and a maker's stamp and an 800 silver content mark. A superb medal, it comes complete with a piece of tired looking ribbon of blue and yellow, that is believed to be the original. Very scarce colonial medal to find.

SORRY I AM RESERVED GBP £175.00 (UK Pounds)

(K235) A nice example of a Spanish Blue Medal being the standard type manufactured by Deschler. The medal retains most of it's original gilt wash over base zinc finish. The award comes with a piece of 1970's ribbon that has been used to replace the lost original. Priced to reflect this, the award was given to Spanish volunteers who served in the German armed forces on the Russian Front in WWII.

gbp £75.00 (UK Pounds)

(K238) A nice example of a standard Steel Kuban Arm Shield that has a steel backing plate attached. The shield has a few minor rust marks to it, but nothing serious, these can be seen on the scan. The shield appears to be an ex stores item as it is complete with it's original paper backing also. The shield is then mounted onto army green backing cloth and was given to the German troops who fought the rear guard action at the Bridgehead of Kuban in the Crimea region. A hard shield to acquire, this one has approximately 95% of it's original finish. A nice find.

GBP £245.00 (UK Pounds)

(K239) A nice Black Wound Badge in very good condition. The badge is the magnetic type and is marked L/16 to the reverse very faintly on the helmet at the 8 0clock position. This is detectable mostly by a magnifying glass. The badge retains approximately 95% of it's black paint finish, although there are a few powder rust marks showing. Overall though, nice to find an LDO marked wound badge. In very good condition. Rare to find the ldo marked examples of the black wound badges.

GBP £40.00 (UK Pounds)

(K240) An Enamelled Olympic Games Badge for 1936 that shows the olympic rings on a backdrop of a mountain and issued for Winter Sports. The badge is of nice quality and construction with no enamel damage. Dated for 1936, it is also stated to be from the 4th olympic winter sports events. Very nice quality and maker marked to the reverse. An unusual item, for the olympice collectors, that has historical significance. The scan doesn't do it justice.

SORRY I AM RESERVED GBP £65.00 (UK Pounds)

(K241) A Rare example of a Paper Packet for the Iron Cross Ribbon. It has been stated by some books that these were the last awards to be made, when stocks of the iron cross were exhausted on the front, as it was only the ribbon that was worn. Very scarce to find either way, the paper packet is maker marked as well as titled stating it is only the ribbon in black ink to the front and has a Berlin maker to the reverse. A very rare and collectable iron cross variation.

GBP £175.00 (UK Pounds)

(K242) A nice example of an Iron Cross and Russiant Front Ribbon Bar of two being the half size ribbon, with a green backing sewn to the reverse. The ribbons are the type that was manufactured in one and are fairly clean. A nice classic combination for bravery on the Eastern Front.

SORRY I AM RESERVED GBP £15.00 (UK Pounds)

(K243) A nice used example of the Condor Legion Wound Badge. The badge is the type with the swastika being proud of the steel helmet in the recesses. The badge is of magnetic steel construction and as such, has been gilded and shows very little dark black paint to it. This is more predominant to the reverse, and I believe the badge has been upgraded over the years, but looking at the quality, I would say during it's wartime service, this is when the gilding took place as it has rusting coming through this. As the badges back was left black, I believe it was the owner who did it and not a collector in later years. A very good talking point badge.

GBP £150.00 (UK Pounds)

(K244) A Silver Miniature Mother's Cross in very nice condition. The cross is of unusually one piece construction and is complete with no enamel damage. The reverse is completely plain, which you don't often find. Of very very nice quality, a stunning cross.

GBP £65.00 (UK Pounds)

(K245) A nice Stick Pin Miniature for the 13th March Medal. The medal is of nice quality and is approximately the 12 mm size. The pin is unmarked but nicely put together.

SORRY I AM RESERVED GBP £25.00 (UK Pounds)
