Description:
WWI Imperial Air Service Korps Badge
The Imperial Air Service Korps eventually consisted of 88 Jastas (squadrons). Prussia formed 67 Jastas, Bavaria formed 10 Jastas, Saxony formed 7 Jastas, and Wurttemberg formed 4 Jastas. All used the Imperial badge with the Prussian crown except for Bavaria. Approximate size was 72mm x 45mm. A smaller or "Prinzen" size badge was also available and was approximately 48mm x 32mm. Construction of these badges are of 3 forms. Initial issue consisted of thin die struck, magnetic badges issued with the qualification certificate. This practice was later discontinued, and the badges were only available through private purchase. The private purchase badges are die struck as either 2 piece hollow core silver or silvered brass, or heavier 1 piece silver. Badges continued to be produced into the 1930s.
WWI Tank Battle Badge
The Tank Battle Badge (or Kampfwagenab-zeichen in German) is a badge established on 13 July 1921 by Dr. Otto Geller in Germany. It wasn’t a wartime insignia, but rather an immediate post-war offering. The medal was created “In order to keep awake among the German people the memory of the battle vehicle units“. The German tanks made their initial combat appearance at San Quenten, on March 21, 1918, at the start of the Michael Offensive known as “the Great Battle in France”. The First Detachment fielded five German-built A7V tanks and the Second Detachment operated five captured British tanks. To qualify for the badge, a tanker had to have participated in three assaults against the enemy, but this requirement could be waived if the tanker was wounded. Priced $995 each or $1750 for the pair. For payment we will accept personal checks, money orders, certified check or cashiers’ check. Personal checks require 8 business days to clear the bank. Shipping and full coverage insurance is included in the price.
