Super photo of the Luftwaffe DKiG holder! Of interest, he’s wearing the Royal Bulgarian Observer’s Badge next to his Luftwaffe badge. Do you know who he is?

Best regards,
Shawn

Thanks Lassance but I can't just copy images from other sites to use on my own.

morning mysecond time on this site so have patience. How can I check if a Legion Condor tank badge is authentic or not? having some issues loading images. Thanx for any assistance.

Morning Having some issue uploading images for some reason. Is there someone that studies these awards and can provide some feedback. I have a Tank Badge (Legion Condor) that I need some assistance authenticating it. Maybe a lead to whom I can contact. Thanx for your time greatly appreciated.

[llarralde@24]

This is Larry once more and not sure if my images of the tank badge Legion Condor uploaded properly. To be brief, I have been studying the badge I own(images above or below) to Legion condor badges in my book "Formans guide to German third reich awards and their values" (3rd edition). On page 15, Forman list two variants with images (A and B). For the last month I have been trying to compare the image on page 15 Number 8A Type A for those who might also have this in their library. I have been using a loop with the upmost scrutiny and FIND NO differences between the image from Formans book with the badge I currently own. I have looked at die marks, eye and nose sockets, differences in the wreath and skullmarks. However, it is is ALSO possible that the image of the Condor Tank Badge on page 15 is an image of a reproduction. I realize this award is very scarce but would love an honest opinion. The obverse to me looks good, but the reverse pin attachment leaves me blank.
Happy Collecting!! Love it anyway!!

Hello ;

Sorry, but that SCW Tank Badge it's a copy.

Here you can see the original from which they have made the copy.

[llarralde@24]

Yes sir, that is why I ask questions, to learn and acquire new information. Hopefully retain some of it. I personally want to thank you for your response. I do not want to upset anyone but I have decided to send 3 more images. The badge itself, the reference book I used (Forman's Guide, 3rd edition), and an image of page 15 from the book. I will have absolutely no issues if this award is NOT authentic for I will keep it anyway, however looking at the top of on page 15 the two badges look so very much the same. I know that some books have images of rare awards that happen to be fakes. I must assume my badge is a repro, but looking is for free so please take a look. Thanx Happy Collecting.
