Luftwaffe airgunner badges

[johannes post]

fantastic badge stan.

i still need one of that kind in my collection

but back too the topic i think

that all buntmetall pieces(airgunner)are only made with removed bolts and not direct made from a die .

regards johan

Rich,

You're right- it does look like a Deumer. Strange that the Unqualified Air Gunner's eagle by Assmann/ DRGM has a different style eagle.

All,

I believe that this B&NL example, in Buntmetal, may be what you are looking for. Notice that the talons are not 'clutching' as in Rich's modified example. The talons on original AGs are most always 'straight'.

A contribution from my collection: A buntmetall AG/FE manufactured by Juncker. Definately made witout the bolts!

Eric,

I believe your badge to be originally made with the blitzen, but very professionally removed. Look at the talons. See how they are curved, as in clutching the blitzbundl?

Yeah Mark, I concur! I just checked her out real good - blitzen removed by someone who was very talented! I should have inspected this example closer. That might explain the TWO different names inscribed into the reverse - once owned by a RO/AG and passed down to a AG/FE who had a modification made to it.
