Benten, This is the first time I've ever seen this great example which looks a first class and heavy piece. Talk about engraving, this one is so nice it looks almost photographic. Again, I've never seen anything quite like it on a medal or decoration before, great work this. There are a few patriotic pieces that I've only seen one or two of and must assume them to be somewhat rare? I think it's safe to say this one falls into that category. Beautiful wreath design, nice. Can you tell us where you found it? Congrats and continued good luck! Bill

Bill and Tom , thank you for your reply. When I saw this badge, I was thinking the engraving looks a bit like you see on banknotes. I got this piece from a German friend.
Cheers, Benten
