Polish flight badges
arrestanddevelopment replied to Hauptmann's topic in Central & Eastern European States
Although these were issued during wartime ,many were issued as reunion pins/badges post war..you need to go with your gut feeling and check age wear,personally i wouldnt bother and wait till a nice one which i was convinced about turned up. The style you display is the most copied. cheers steve -
Hi, I am no expert but i research and look and handle examples a lot over time..you learn pretty quick and get used to seeing genuine wear and tear and get a gut feeling about stuff. The Rothe examples that i have seen which i was happy about had a split pin rear,which is i believe a more costly way to retain the eagle(i may be wrong on that) I believe they would come in other fitments as well to retain the eagle. I was told my one would have been for full dress...it originally came out of a major collection .The other early version the construction is a text book example and it took me a long time to get this one as so many copies out there...hope its of help all the best steve
