jonightflyer Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 I'm interested to know whether this one is good and who the manufacturer might have been. It is not maker marked.I can't unfortunately show the back as it is already framed as part of a display. Thanks for any info guys.
ERIC Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 By no means am I an expert, but I can lend you my take - from the pic supplied it appears to be a period Pilot Observer Badge, looks to be buntmetall, by the manufacturer known by many as "The Unknown Maker". None of these badges, so far, have a maker mark applied, but from the hardware found on these examples they are thought to be from the firm FLL - Friedrich Linden Ludenscheid.ERIC
J Temple-West Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 As always, an excellent summary by Eric. If possible, I would be very interested in seeing the display.
jonightflyer Posted March 31, 2007 Author Posted March 31, 2007 If possible, I would be very interested in seeing the display.And from another frame.Thanks if respective experts could give an opinion on the other items in the frames. Input on these much appreciated.
J Temple-West Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 The breast eagle, collar tabs and stunning cape eagle all look fine to me. The ?Iron Cross? section would be the best place to post the RK? or a link there to the thread here.
Richard Gordon Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Nice display. Is this something you have put together yourself or are the awards attributed to anyone?Rich

jonightflyer Posted April 25, 2007 Author Posted April 25, 2007 Nice display. Is this something you have put together yourself or are the awards attributed to anyone?Thanks... yes put together. The bits and pieces came from various places including from my Uncle who was a WW2 pilot.
