Supposedly a Deumer [attachmentid=39192]

Another great piece "MR. GWL" !! ERIC

No doubt about that unmarked one Dom, GWL all the way - in awesome condition once again! ERIC

I think you were just overly excited to get in a new badge - you're excused!! Anyway, sweet Assmann Flak John! The zink Assmann examples were double marked as well. ERIC [attachmentid=38710]

Hi TANO, An excellent collection of Para Badges - Congrats on your 'nest'! I really enjoyed that! I too see a lack of quality Para Badges at the dealers as of late. Seems when these go up for sale they're snatched up immediately. Kevin, sorry my friend, but I am with the other fellas concerning your Para Badge - I too believe it to be a reproduction. The hinge, catch, and rivits are just not correct for Osang. ERIC

WoW! Latvia had Uboats??

Hello Kev, Really difficult to tell by the small pics - does the maker mark say GH Osang Dresden? If so, I for one do not recognize that hinge, catch, or rivits as being characteristic to that manufacturer. Is it possible to get a closeup of the maker mark? ERIC

Hi Jan, Thanks! Only the eagle is CUPAL , the wreath is zinc. ERIC

A 1st Pattern to contribute! [attachmentid=36837]

QUOTE(John Cooper @ Apr 23 2006, 02:09 ) ← Eric thanks for the extra picture! Do you have yours on display if so how? I am trying to think of the best way to display mine and keep it protected. BTW guys thanks for the kind words! Cheers John Hi John, I keep mine in a large, deep riker case lying on a blue fabric backround, placed inside one of my showcases. Nothing fancy but it looks good! I too wish to thank you fellas for the compliments on our stabsflaggen! ERIC

Hi John, The tag is identical, although the number written on it is different - mine has a #35 on it. The stitched seam is also present on my example as well. Here is a shot of the tag, top hardware, and stitching. I believe this pic is sufficient to show all three. ERIC [attachmentid=35749]

Closeup of opposite side eagle: [attachmentid=35688]

Hello John, I have an identical one, tag and all, a direct wartime bringback from a veteran whom resides in my town. Mine is black/yellow/black, colors for the flying units. ERIC [attachmentid=35684]

A superb case/badge combination David! Congrats on a fine 2nd pattern! ERIC

I would say $325 - $350 USD (275 - 280 Euros) in this condition. ERIC

I agree with John - I would say a zinc Pilots Badge as well. ERIC
