Germany, Third Reich. A Mixed Lot of Badges and Insignia GTRexclude scratching of the hilt’s nickel(Abzeichen und Insignien). A mixed lot of nine badges and insignia, with examples issued to the Heer, Luftwaffe, NSKK, RAD, and NSKOV, featuring pieces of aluminum, zink, and bronze construction, some demonstrating loss of finish (deliberate in the case of the Wound Badge), in overall better than very fine condition.
