German military metal badges are metal badges, pins or emblems used to mark a rank, unit or squad in the German military. These metal insignias can come in a variety of shapes and designs, including stars, eagles and shields. These insignia are usually specific to a particular branch of the military, such as the Army, Air Force, or Navy, and are used to distinguish members of each unit. These insignia are worn on uniforms, berets or other clothing to identify a person's rank and service unit. Metal badges are an important part of German military tradition and are generally highly prized by collectors.

New (Surplus)

Our condition standards classify "New (Surplus)" as items that have been issued to military personnel but have not been used.

Militaries of many countries issue basic and spare military equipment to their personnel so that soldiers can easily replace damaged or lost equipment during missions.

Since the military replaces/updates issued equipment periodically, every 2-4 years depending on the country, in some cases spare personnel equipment returns to the military warehouses unused, but no longer used due to the high standards of the military.

Expected condition:

• Warehouse smell (Long storage).
• Dust marks (Long storage).
• The goods are repackaged in our warehouse.

ATTENTION!

• "Estimated condition" - may appear on 1 in 10 items.
• "Rare Condition" - May appear on 1 in 50 items.
• The listed possible defects will not necessarily be on the product you received !
