Need to find a way to host 5-10MB images, still working on that.
Have found the time to take a really good look at it, and i`ll stick to my original opinion - post war fantasy item, and judging by the base metal used, and the quality of the actual metal sheeting that was used for these, American without the slightest doubt. (for me)
By the way, do we know of any other small badges yet that show this attachment?
And do we know of other examples of badges that have their individually hand stamped numbers filled with enamel?
Think about this again, a totally unnecessary "extra and costly" procedure, meaning that a worker had to paint the enamel into each badge, then put them all back into the enamel oven. I say "costly" because i am going on the assumption that thousands were made, they show numbers in their thousands on the face -
also..
But if thousands were not made, and only a few were (i dont know, 50-100 or so..) then it`s not such a big step. It is also a step away from the norm, hence the question: What other badge show this "enameling of the individual numbers"
It is also a step into the same direction with the attachment. It is just not Third Reich or even German, and if you wish to argue this point then you need to S H O W others, and not just assume.
The material is another step away from how genuine Third Reich, in particular Hitler Youth badges were made. It`s not messing, it is simply a white magnetic metal, that has been bronzed. So it is trying to look like plain messing/bronze.
So, we have a most unusual magnetic creation, with the numbers crudely hand stamped into the obverse and subsequently enameled. Then it has been fitted with a really impractical attachment, the likes of that have never been seen before or after? with a piece of rubber included for fun. Why? and can you tell me when you ever saw a piece of rubber on a badge attachment before?, Do we really need to round this off with details images? I will of course, but common sense really is enough
