Luftwaffe W.Deumer Radio Operator/Air Gunner badge.

[J Temple-West]

Firstly, a big thank you to Kurt for an easy transaction and speedy shipment.

A rather nice RO/AG this turned out to be. Made in what I suspect to be high content nickel silver, and with its original 'Deumer' case.

As always, with "Wilhelm Deumer" pieces, this example shows a very high standard of manufacture, construction and finishing and comes in at a very close second to my favourite maker (as I'm sure, by now, everyone will know ) F.W Assmann.

So, the obverse.

John,

I'm thrilled you like it! I'm glad it has a good home , surrounded by several of its contemporaries I'm sure. Thanks again!

Best

John

That's a great badge and really love the case. In fact had I not seen the for sale ad too late I would have happily added that one to my own collection. To console myself I'm adding a cased tombac '3rd' pattern Juncker RO/AG instead.

Looking forward to seeing that one, Rich.

John,

As requested.

This now completes my Juncker RO/AG series and I have all 3 patterns now. (I don't go for the zinc badges).

Standard case, etc.

That is a sweetie, Rich...But I'm afraid you can't get away with it quite that easily...

There are four in the buntmetal series!

Oh no! I hear him cry...
