    That's a cool looking set. Why are there differences in the badges? Different makers or time periods? I'm not good with badges at all.

    The first is a siver gilt piece, there was no silver badge in this type of award. The third is the dress copy of the first badge. The reason for the design change is as yet not known. The citation has the middle piece at the top, the one that Dr Fritz Todt had was the type as the first piece. So great work to be done. As there were only approx 250 awarded, a bit of a rare Bear as they say.
