Richard Gordon Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 StijnNot an easy piece to find. The condition is very nice (except for the catch - but it could be a lot worse!). Congratulations!Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stijn David Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hello, And the reverse of this lighweight piece - my limited scanning ability does not do justice towards the condition. Absolutely nice piece. Anyone a idea on the timeframe of production on these baby's? Cordial greetings, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Temple-West Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Stijn,A very nice example. The missing catch??.typical for these aluminium pieces. The Radio Operator/Air Gunner badge was first mentioned in official orders in the ?Luftwaffenverordnungsblatt? on the 19th Jan 1935.Regulations were published on the 27th Nov 1935, and the badge was finally instituted on the 26th March 1936.1st pattern aluminium RO/AG badge by Assmann.

J Temple-West Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Going on groups, containing both original urkunde/badges, the 2nd pattern was introduced in 1938, this being the case for most Luftwaffe war type badges, certainly by Assmann.2nd pattern.

J Temple-West Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Comparison between the 2nd pattern aluminium RO/AG badge (left) and its early nickel silver counterpart (right).Interesting to note that the eagles? left wing, on all aluminium badges, are placed at a lower angle than those on ns/buntmetal examples.

J Temple-West Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Cheers Rich...How about this battle-weary example. Again, repaired catch. Amazing how close to the Juncker eagle design these 1st pattern pieces are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
