Badge from Luxembourg
Hello,
I am looking for a real or even a restrike luxemborgoise cap badge of the type that was used in Korea and WW2 - with 2 crossed C as in my avatar. Does anyone know where I could find this? Many thanks BP Last edited by Brigade Piron; 25-10-10 at 12:44 PM. |

Yes, I know the badge, but I have only ever seen ONE since I have been living here for the last 13 years and that was a) 10 years ago, b) belonged to a local resident, and c) I have never seen another one - even a copy/restrike etc. Luxembourg isn't exactly full of 'collector types' - apart from hamandjam and myself. Quite a few stamp collectors/stamp shops etc, but not much in the way of 'bric brac' shops. Don't hold your breath.

The worst part is that it seems to have been a sort of 'general service' badge into the 60s + 70s and therefore fairly common.
I was in Luxembourg last week in and went to an army surplus, I asked the woman behind the counter if she had any and she said that it was 'forbidden' to sell metal cap badges - is this true. The worst part is that the museum in Diekirch has 20+ of that type on display. Ho hum.... |

Hello,
I found some months ago on ebay this frame with badges from Luxembourg. First time I saw so many badges from this small army. Laurent |

I have some patches and ranks, but still miss a few. All items from Luxembourg are very hard to find

I would have thought that a Luxembourg Senior Customs Officer cap badge would be definitely a no=go item but Providence supplied the complete thing!
