    1. Hey Fellas, Here's one new to the nest - an unmarked Juncker 3rd Pattern (zinc) Flak. This example has a navy style wide pin instead of the usual needle pin. This is only the third I've seen with this hardware, so I HAD to get her. She came cased as well. Anyone else have one with the wide pin hardware? ERIC
    2. Hello J?rgen, All I can say is.............. (But you knew that already!!) ERIC
    3. Hi Jos, Judging from the hardware, your eagles look to be from the firms of Wiedmann and FLL - are either maker marked? ERIC
    4. Great shots of the Luft personnel wearing the GPB Terry - you don't often encounter that on Luftwaffe men. ERIC
    5. Hello Brian, I can add this to the thread for you - I have a wartime picture (signed) of Wilke as a Generalmajor and the writing, I presume in his own hand, on the reverse. It gives a little overview of his movements. Not much help, but I thought you might find it interesting! ERIC
    6. A very cool poster snoopy! I wouldn't mind 'finding' that in a stack of magazines! ERIC
    7. Hello Karsten, Once again, a hearty welcome to you! A great OM you have there! Indeed one of the most difficult Pilot Badges to acquire for ones' collection. I'll be more than happy to add mine here! ERIC
    8. Yeah John, I've seen these FLLs with round wire catches before. My badge has the 'normal' flat wire catch. ERIC
    9. Hi Kevin and Andreas! I believe I can say with 100% certainty that your Fliegerschutzen wears a 2nd Pattern Assmann Radio Operator/Air Gunner Badge - Look at the size of that wreath! ERIC
    10. Hi Stan, That's a sweet one with a 2nd model (alu. style) eagle! The inscriptions add so much to it - congrats on a nice 1st pattern! ERIC
    11. A very good possibility woodeye - it could very well have been done by the recipient. Then again, it could have been issued to him in an already altered state, an earlier Radio Operator/ Air Gunner Badge reissued to a Air Gunner/Bordmechaniker at a later time during the war. Would be very difficult to know positively unless it came straight from the recipient or his family who knew the story behind it. ERIC
    12. "ASSMANN" once again - looks like someone buried it or peed on it!
    13. Hi Tim, I really see no problem with it either - a keeper IMO. As John said and I agree, a Juncker wreath and hardware with the Unmarked styles' eagle. Looks to be two bona fide makers' parts married once again. Great shape too. What's the connection here? I'd like to know that too! Just as a side here, a pic of your reverse with the reverse of my unmarked Juncker. Identical in every way. ERIC
    14. Hi woodeye, Can't help you with the regiment information, but I do like your badge. An original 2nd pattern Juncker ROAG with blitz removed. ERIC
