Jim R Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 This is another rare bird. It is a Luftwaffe Flak Badge with hollow back, unmarked (made by Hobacher). Sadly it is missing its pin but the rest of it is there. As usual all comments are welcome.
ERIC Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 I don't recognize this style at all Jim, and as for being a "WH" variant, I don't believe this is correct either. Although the obverse eagle is close, the swaz is really misformed, and the hinge and catch style are not parts I recognize as being utilized by the "WH" manufacturer on its Flak Badges. Here is a typical "WH" reverse and it's usual hinge and catch setup. ERIC
Jim R Posted July 29, 2007 Author Posted July 29, 2007 Hi Eric,This badge is being included in a book on flak badges being written by Flak88. He ID it for me when I bought the badge.Jim
ERIC Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Really?? This is a new one for me. First I've ever seen. Hopefully Marc can elaborate here a little on this one. ERIC
