Romanian Tank Badge?

[mietek]

Could you help?
On the forum http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/sho...ead.php?t=48294 there is a question about badge. Is it romanian?

[Dénes]

Yes, it appears to be a Rumanian tanker's badge (CL could mean 'Car de Lupta', the period term for Tank).
Here is another style badge (repro):

Denes, in your picture is the badge for officers of the tank troops model 1920. It resembles a FT-17 tank.

The picture pointed by mietek is probably a later version of this badge. It resembles a R-35 tank.

[Dénes]

Thanks for the confirmation.
Yes, I saw the differences between the two badges, that's why I noted in my previous post 'another style badge'.

Also, the 'CL' acronyms are not shown on the earlier style badge. Are indeed these letters short for 'Car de Lupta'?

[mietek]

Thanks a lot.
I remeber that I seen somewhere on this forum earlier version, but I wasn't sure.

I put there your answers: http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/new...uote=1&p=394075

The second badge posted by Mike Pinkus here shows the same peculiarity at the lower part, a shield but with the letters 'SA' this time.

I wonder how did the French tank badges look like :?:

[mietek]

HI.
notice difference, what could mean letters "SA"?

[dragos]

I don't know. The only badge I am sure of is the one posted by Denes. I have asked if anybody knows of possible badges of the French Army, in case of a similarity with the Romanian ones.
