Teno Award - 1922

[AZartman]

Came across this recently - slight damage to the enamel. Nice detail. Hard to find info on these.

Nothing wrong with that one (apart from the enamel damage of course), very nice.

That's a nice looking badge . Is it possible to get a close up of the

Thanks for the additional image. I have no personal experience in this relatively rare award, but I definately like what I see . I've compared the images in 4 different reference-books (Angolia, Niemann, Hüsken and Foreman) and observed something that might be worth mentioning. Your badge differs in one detail, compared to all these four i.e. on the reverse mid- section, the serial # is stamped in the middle, contrary to the others, where it's positioned at the bottom. These four also feature a center circle in relief, something that's missing on your's (three of the badges are clearly identifid as being made by Fuhner). Whether or not this is related to late production series (1922) or if there is any other explanation, I have no idea.

"These four also feature a center circle in relief, something that's missing on your's"

I noticed this as well. When I hold the badge in my hand and look at an angle the cirlce is there in parts. Why it is so shallow or faint I'm not sure. I see now that this does not show up well in the photo I posted. My wife had the camera when you asked, so I can try and repost a better pic with outdoor light maybe? It is a low batch number too.

I have seen this lack of a circle before, also on a two digit piece dated 1922.
