J Temple-West Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Hi Rosenberg,My personal feeling would be that this is the same mark as found on fake pilot?s badges.The ?Deumer? mark, on both early and late badges, remained the same throughout the time of production, so unless ?Deumer? produced a new maker mark stamp specifically for their glider badges, I would have to conclude that this is either a post war marking, or the entire badge is a fake.Is it possible to see the front of the badge and some close-ups of the hinge/catch?For comparison, here are some examples of maker marks from both early (top) and late (middle) Luftwaffe badges by ?Deumer?, with the one you show at the bottom. I'm sure that Mike K or Tim Calvert would have further information on these gliders and would be only too happy to give some input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Gordon Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I would concurr with John. I've only seen one style of MM on Deumers, even the late zinc RO/AG shown the same MM as the early pieces.Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I don't think I've seen an authentic Glider Badge by this maker in years, if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERIC Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I don't think I've seen an authentic Glider Badge by this maker in years, if at all.I myself don't recall EVER seeing a Glider Badge by Deumer either. I am in agreeance here with the others regarding the mm here - Deumer had basically the same mm throughout the war - no discernable difference from beginning to end. The mm on your Glider just doesn't match up to a period Deumer mark.ERIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
