VtwinVince Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Gentlemen,Since I have a few goodies home for awhile, I thought I'd show a couple. Here is a private purchase pilot badge, awarded to my uncle, Vizefeldwebel Albrecht Ochs, January 12, 1918. Notice the very crude field replacement pin, which is soldered on with what looks like lead. It has the usual hallmarks one would expect from a Juncker piece.

Stogieman Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Looks like alegit Juncker with some home-made repair and some real character.... how can you not like these badges? When you see one, pause for a moment and think about the fact that the air service in WW1 Germany suffered ~85% casualty rate.....
