Thanks for the compliments. I had been searching for the 39' Koln example for several years & all the ones I came across usually had a bad case of zinc pest. I missed the lot at the recent auction but came across the person who won and purchased the Koln badge from him for about what the 3 badge lot went for. I also was fortunate enough to find a 39' Reichssieger & case which I had been searching ( many years) for as well. I am happy with them and one day (retirement is getting close at hand) will pass them on to a younger collector.
