RD4249.)CASED KRIEGSMARINE AUXILIARY WAR CRUISER BADGE: super-deluxe quality and as fine as any original. Yet another fine example out of a large, original collection and one that has been recently condemned by an expert up in Virginia. The former owner of this cased badge paid $850 for it many years ago. Fantastic specimen constructed of a quality gold alloy and oh, so handsomely detailed and crisp. Separately applied gun metal blue finished globe detail in the center...has rivet on the back as all of the original, quality, pieces show. Ask for more up close and detailed photos should you be interested in acquiring this stunner. Reverse has high quality hinge and tapered brass pin. Outstanding. Note how the tip of the pin curves up at the end. Marked on the back to familiar premiere maker 'G.H.Osang, Dresden'. Dark blue 3x3 1/2" leatherette case, hinged and with functioning spring button catch. Interior is lined with plush dark blue velvet and is recessed to perfectly hold hinge/pin assembly. Upper interior of case is lined with padded blue satin. Remarkable old counterfeit.
