These are a much underestimated badge. This is a link you might find very interesting on the subject. http://stirnpanzer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=642

As to value, the large oval badge with swords for the common bars has a value of about, ?275.00. The same badge with no swords is very scarce and if you are luck enough to find one, the value would be around ?475.00. I have only seen one resently offered, and this was the bargain of the centuary, ?200.00 on Jamie Cross's site, needless to say it was not there very long.

Thanks for the estimation on value. These are nice looking badges IMO.

Cool website, appreciate the link to it :)

Came across one of these badges recently. This one is the larger of the 2 varieties.

It has the bars for Spartakus and Rhein-Ruhr campaigns.

Anybody have an idea of value???

Thanks,

Hello,

I'd like some comments on a ribbon bar, especially the construction.

The ribbon bar uses copper in it's construction.

Curious as to whether this was common?

Thanks

Tony

I found the ribbon bar that goes with my medal bar, that was previously posted.

Hi Wayne,

I have nothing good to say about the last badge you posted.

I would stay away from that one.

Cheers

Hi Wayne,

I have to agree with John concerning your badge. These badges were either produced in aluminum (1st pattern) or zinc (later pattern). These badges are rare to find.

I'm posting my late war zinc badge.

No marker mark, but produced by Juncker.

Greetings,

I have shown this around to a few well known dealers. While none of them faulted the badge, it didn't give them warm fuzzies either. No providence. Opinions!?

Thanks

Hi all,

Here is my one and only Luft. medal bar (for now)

Hello,

It is a 100% good zinc ball-hinge Flak badge.  In my opinion, the early ball-hinge flak badge is the nicest made and probably one of the first types awarded.  It can be easily spotted in early photos of men wearing the flak badge.  You can keep the Junckers and Brehmers, I will take a ball-hinge anyday.

Regards,
