Example of a Second Pattern Coburg Badge


An example of a Second Pattern Coburg Badge that was recently offered on the market by a German dealer. Note the RZM marking on the reverse and a thicker pin system. There are many fakes out there and worth studying the details of the badge. This is a nice second pattern although the strike has less crisp details than those encountered on first patterns. It is believed that this would be manufactured in later runs although it is not certain who really produced them. These second patterns are still far more common than the first pattern pieces which are very rare.
