    Dreschler and Sohn.
    Schwerin.
    DRGM (?) I think.
    F.O for Friedrich Orth but im not postiive that made the badge--but I think so.
    Souval.

    Thank you my friend ! that is a good start. Would your buds at Wehrmacht-awards site know a few more possibly ? Trying to get a grasp of what might be out there as the idea of purchasing an original award has crossed my mind again.......

    Danke ;)

    Just remind me and I will ask them there tomorrow morning (after I check Detlevs militaria update--that is) ;)

    Actually--there were some 170++++ firms making medals for Germany--most in Germany (of course) many in Austria, and a few 2-3 in fraince.

    Of the 170 or so, I know there were alot more than the few I mentioned. Possibly OSANG of Dresden? most likely F.W. and also Assmann and C.E.Juncker. I would bet that C.E.Juncker did make them--they made most or everything and are alos VERY high in quality (like Assmann and OSANG) and are the most collected/or sought after by collectors. I dont own any from them ---yet, but will someday. For now though--I dont care who is the maker of the badge I go for. Im a collector--but not an advanced collector--due to lack of funds. :mad:

    Forgot to mention--now that im getting a healthier tax return--way more than I thought, well--lets just say that a few more photos will be bought along with (Hopefully) a very nice 12 place Imperial German Ribbon bar. :D
