Stijn David Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Hello, Here is a unmarked BSW glider badge that i have the honour to look at, this badge is in a condition (certainly the front) that i have never seen before with these BSW badges. Absolutely stunning as far as i am concerned Cordial greetings, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stijn David Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Hello, Here is the reverse of this badge, it does show signs of repair => the catch has been repaired (as was broken of), one of the rivets (left one seems to have been flattened or repaired) and there are scratches on the reverse. Otherwise this badge is very nice, as i have never seen one in this condition i makes me wonder iff this could be reworked (= new finisch applyed) ? Any idea's + feel free to comment.

J Temple-West Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Hi Stijn,Here's the finish, I think you'll agree, that we tend to look for on BSW gliders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Temple-West Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Then there's this example that I had the opportunity of handling recently? quite different from the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Temple-West Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 A side by side comparison.So it would seem that BSW used various finishing techniques during production?.experimentation perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stijn David Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Hello, Thank you for he comments @ Stogie: It is Br?der Schneider / Wien instead of Bruno Schneider The very fun thing is that a German collector already had this one in his collection but was told by a few dealers etc ... that it was a fake => he returned it etc ... and the original owner did send it towards me for inspection. Needles to say i was very suprised to see a original pop up So you see, know your subject and you will find very nice original objects Cordial greetings, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Gordon Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 So you see, know your subject and you will find very nice original objects Exactly!That's why I stopped collecting 'everything' and narrowed my collecting area considerably. Concentrating in specific areas has paid off in many ways.Nice glider badges!Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stijn David Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hello, Thank you for comments and nice pictures of originals. Keep the following type identification about glider badges in mind, in a certain future the system will become more and more known Type I : C.E.Juncker Type II : Br?der Schneider/Wienetc .... Within this system there are subdivisions, etc ... but that will be clear after the launch of the bookproject on these. The fun thing is that for example within the BSW glider badges a wider range of metal types can be encountered ( for example, quite often persons do talk about Buntmetal, etc .. . but i can assure you that when analysed with SEM etc .. rather different compositions do come towards the daylight => in that way that the inner composition from copper, Aloy, etc ... can differ, resulting in a different metal look )Anyway, glider badges are a fun thing to collect, however always keep in mind that it is a small minefield on its own but i am always illing to help the members of this forum to give info, hints, advise, etc ...
