Jim R Posted July 28, 2007 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERIC Posted July 29, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERIC Posted July 29, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
