Luftwaffe CASED LUFTWAFFE AWARDS

[J Temple-West]

Very nice, Reini.. I feel another compulsive-obsessive is about to join the Luftwaffe fraternity..

[Reini]

Rich,

Thanks!

I had studied for the last half of last year and started buying sometime in March , I believe. However , these and the others are representative of over a decade of collecting various things and rolling over the funds.

As for my goals , I was just buying whatever popped up that looked good. I bought them all from private sources , no dealers , so the matching of the cases and badges was just luck. Once I get some more money , probably in 2006 , I would like to add a high-end piece , perhaps an early GWL or Assmann Pilot Observer.

I'd love to see some of the other members' cased awards.

Just a few to be getting on with...

I'll have to get the camera out and do some of the flight badges, work and school holidays permitting.

Eric, greetings..very pleased that you've joined the club.

[Reini]

Those are in spectacular condition , just amazing! I never even see early Deumer items for sale. I had no idea their early badges were so impressive until seeing the ones you've posted.

And welcome ERIC , of course. Good to see to see you here!

This case just arrived today and I now have a home for my one and only PO. I don't even know if the Unkown Maker badges came in this style case , but they look good together. This is the only case I have with the embossed line around the lid. The insert will come about halfway out and I can see the cardboard and wood pieces in there. It is just about mint.

It's certainly a first for me. I have nothing like it in my files.

The brass catch is a concern, just a little too mint perhaps?

Calling, Marcus..

[Reini]

Maybe I can help with doubts on the case. I've taken some more closeups. The insert is still partially glued , but I've dislodged it and have gotten some pretty good shots of the inside. I always welcome any kind of challenge to any of my items as it keeps me on my toes and I still have so much to learn.

Here is another of the clasp.
