Coburg Anniversary Plaque


Photos of a Coburg Anniversary plaque. The left piece was recently acquired. It surfaced in 2018 in a auction, and was again put up for auction in 2020. These pieces were very highly detailed with a three dimensional relief. The one on the right is mounted onto a wooden base that measures 17.5cm x 11.8cm and with the manufacturer’s name, Lauer Nürnberg stamped on the bottom. Both from the author’s collection.

Coburg Mini Stickpin


Coburg Mini Stickpin - This was offered for sale at an American auction house. The ending hammer price was USD151.00 +10% auctioneer's fee. The stickpin shows a supposed RZM M1/52 marking for Deschler and Sohne, although the condition of this pin seems to be extremely poor. It is also important to note that the M1/52 marking has never appeared on any Coburg badge or related artefacts. There are also no period documentation that the Deschler firm produced these pieces. The company was based in Munich, by Gustav Deschler who founded the company in 1825, with the factory sited at Wirthstrasse 9 in Munich that was completely destroyed by allied bombing in 1945. It must be stressed that there is no period documentation about who produced these Coburg badges or stickpins.
