Correct name for this badge

tshirtlarry · 03-27-2010, 12:18 PM

Anyone know the correct name for this badge.
I read somewhere this is hard to find and this may be a
reproduction. I aquired this badge almost 20 years ago

Larry, off the top of my head and without checking sources there are two things:

1) It looks like a "higher" military academy badge for "tankmen."
2) I'm not entirely sure it is real - the screw post base and the screwnut (star mark) suggest it could go either way. I have a number of badges I keep in my "questionable" drawer because of that same screwnut.

If anybody knows more about the mint that uses that mark, I would love to hear about it.:thumbsup

Larry,

If you bought it 20 years ago, it means that they were faking these badges fairly convincingly then...

Graduation badge of military school (not high military college)

After surfing the web I came up with this name
Fuel and Lubricant Supply School Badge.
Think so??

It may indeed be what school one that looks like this would be for, but the authenticity problem is still there.:)
