found this boxed guards badge last weekend on the fleamarket.
The badge is protected with plastic on the front and was painted with
colour.
Does somebody know more about this boxes. In which time
period they used these boxes?
Does this look like a 50's era brass badge to you?

It's not WWII vintage. As to how you tell between 1950s production and 60s or 70's production, I don't know. If anyone does know a method of dating post-war guards badges I'd be interested in knowing.

In my very limited experience I've learned that for post-WW2 badges the more wavy the area underneath the flag's red enamel, and the more pronunced the fringe under the flag the later the badge is. And that brass is indicative of 50s era and earlier.
Thanks for the info Marc. Even with that silver colored screwnut?
Additionally, the post before mine was by "Dannybou". He was a regular here and at another site for a while and gave me a lot of help. I haven't seen him post since August. Anybody know what's up with him? :confused:
