Thanks Guys

Karsten

It finally arrived today.

Karsten

I've had 5 OM's and of the 5 two were cased. One was in the case shown by Rich with the blue border.

5 pieces of the same badge?? Why??

Karsten

Would love to see images of some of them.

Congrats Eric. That is a true beauty

Hi guys

Thought that I would share my ordensspange with you. If you think that you have seen it before, it?s right, because I just posted it on another forum.

Medal bar are really not my thing, but I could not resist it.

As yo can see the Memelland medal is turned wrong. It seems that this is not that unusual, as I thought.

If you have a medal bar with a Memelland in, please post it here.

Karsten

Very nice example

You are absolutely right SW 68.

Identical to yours, just that mine is with the round plated catch.

Cheers

Karsten

guys

Trying to locate zincers in good condition is almost as hard as finding early badges in any condition these days! Boy, is it dry out there!

@Rich....this arrived yesterday morning. I've posted a few new pieces over the past few weeks, but finding the pieces I need to finish certain sets is going to take some time, me thinks.

Time to start collecting beer mats...

You are quite right that it?s hard to find some nice conditioned zink Airgunner badges. I only collect Buntmetall LW badges, apart from the Airgunner badge, that I believe has only been made in zink. All the others are cut- off bolts, some off them very nicely done, but still cut-offs.

This Juncker I found 2 months ago.

Cheers

Karsten

Very nice Airgunner in a great condition. I actually missing a B &NL in my collection

Congrats on your new purchase.

Karsten

Here's my "O.M" which I bought from a small shop in York 25 years ago. I was told that it had been brought in by a farmer who found it in his orchard in the nearby village of Osbaldwick after an Me110 had been shot down and the pilot captured.

Hi Stan

That is a great bagde, with a fantastic story to it.

Cheers

Karsten

That's the most ugly bird I've ever seen..

They're nice heavy badges, but man, that bird..

Think OM means " Oh My.." !

Jos.

What do you mean by ugly

Karsten

Hi Karsten !

Very nice OM Pilotbadge .

Not the easiest maker to find , but for me Deumer Pilotbadges are harder to find .

I found 2 OM Pilotbadge in 2 Weeks for a couple of Years ago .

Jan Arne

2 OM badges ??? What did you do with them?

I think you are right that Deumer Pilots are rare, but if they are more rare than OM, I don?t know. I?m missing the Deumer Pilot in my collection, so I?m on the hunt for one.

Back to OM, I have never seen any other LW badges made by this maker. Anyone? Logically it would be strange if they have only made one LW badge, but nothing is logic in this area.

BTW.. Some beautiful OM Pilot badges posted here, thanks!

Karsten

his name was Heinrich Kaun.

I myself wanted to buy it also with pleasure, unfortunately, I had missed it.

Thanks

Is there an database where I can retrieve more information on this Heinrich Kaun?

Best Regards

Karsten

Here's my example which come in the correct case for this maker.

Rich

That Badge is Close to mint. Very nice. Have never seen the right case for this badge. As you know the Badge is extraordinary thick, so I was wondering if the case is taller/thicker that the usual ones ?

Best Regards

Here is a recent buy, that I?m really happy about. This is actually my first named badge. Where would I look for some research on this Kaun?

Best Regards

Karsten
