    WW2 German Coastal Artillery badge by Schwerin Berlin Obverse

    Germany WW2 Coastal Artillery badge – Schwerin Berlin

    Written by anguspm

    WW2 German Kriegsmarine Coastal Artillery badge by the much appreciated, amongst collectors, manufacturer Schwerin Berlin. Nava badges from Schwerin are reknowned for their high level of detailing, the way that they maintain their gilding / wash after many years and their robust hinge and pin set up (you dont find many with a broken / repaired reverse).

    Note -> As always the problem with being a much appreciated antique badge is that they are also the first to be copied and reproduced. From the images shown below there is more than enough detail to make a comparison for authentication purposes.

    Romanian medal with something to do with WW2 judging by the 1941 date on the reverse. Other than that, little idea.

    War service cross (Frontfighter Cross - Frontkampfer Kreuz)
    Germany War service cross for 1914 1918 combatants.

    Germany WW1 War merit cross with swords – C.TH.D “Lantern”

    Written by anguspm

    A curious medal makers mark on this first world war German service cross. C.TH.D sits above what can only be described as a profile of a house with a window or maybe even a lantern. Should be an identifiable marking but not currently associated with a medal producer.
