WWII GERMAN–STYLE COMMEMORATIVE BADGE – “20 JULI 1944”
High-Quality Replica / Display Piece
A well-made commemorative badge inspired by German World War II award design, featuring a laurel wreath surrounding a steel helmet motif, crossed axes, and the engraved date “20. Juli 1944.” This piece was produced as a postwar reproduction and was never an officially issued wartime decoration.
The badge is solidly constructed with crisp detail, a convincing aged finish, and a traditional vertical pin-back fastening. The reverse is stamped “800 / 2”, a decorative maker-style mark commonly seen on commemorative replicas and not associated with period wartime manufacturers.
