      The wreath is the same Dave. This is the earliest form known. The Para badge was instituted on November 5 1936, so I would say late '36 or early '37. My '1935' was meant to be '1936' - sorry for the confusion. ERIC

      Thanks for the E-Boat pic Pete! ERIC

      Hello Dave, Just "picked it up", huh? Well, I believe you hit the jackpot my friend! It certainly appears to me that you are now in possession of the earliest form (1935) of Pilot Badge known made by the Assmann firm. This is the style with the 'egg shaped' wreath. A very scarce bird indeed! A hearty congratulations!! ERIC

      OK, cool Marc, thanks - I'll check it out. ERIC

      Thanks Marc and Dave for the S&L information! I couldn't remember exactly which maker the circle was attributed to, but thought it was Souval. Could someone post one of the Kriegsmarine Badges which has the circle that Marc refers to? ERIC

      Yeah Mark, I concur! I just checked her out real good - blitzen removed by someone who was very talented! I should have inspected this example closer. That might explain the TWO different names inscribed into the reverse - once owned by a RO/AG and passed down to a AG/FE who had a modification made to it. ERIC

      Good eyes Scott - I was thinking the same thing when I saw it. ERIC

      Here's a zinc unmarked Night Fighter Clasp I picked up locally. Found it almost buried in a showcase of bric-a-brac at a Gun Show of all places. Don't just walk by those cluttered showcases guys, look in them! ERIC

      A contribution from my collection: A buntmetall AG/FE manufactured by Juncker. Definately made witout the bolts! ERIC

      Great example of a "clover leaf" Pilot Badge Jan! Nice pickup!! ERIC

      Here's another recent reproduction I came across. Again, the MM is a dead giveaway. ERIC

      Hi Fellows, Here's a pretty good repop of a Flyers Commemorative I found recently. This one could be dangerous to the unknowing. MM is a dead giveaway. ERIC

      Fantastic finish on that example Jos - I too would be hard pressed to ever let that one go. ERIC

      Do you know if there are there any markings on it at all which would lead you to believe that it may be Luftwaffe related? I like it anyway - I think it would look cool in a Luft display! ERIC

      Truly a beautiful example John - kudos my friend! ERIC
