Luftwaffe Aluminum Pilots

[Steve K.]

Here's an old picture of my aluminum pilot badges....I believe I still have them all plus a few additions since the photo. I was trying to use natural light and failed to reduce the harsh shadows in the back, but you get the idea.

Cheers,

Hi Steve !

GREAT Collection of Aluminium Pilotbadges !!

Any makers on the Badges ?

[J Temple-West]

Oh my?oh my!! Far too many alu badges for one person to have!

Seriously, Steve?.A superb flock you have there. I?m green with envy!

Assmann, Juncker and, no doubt, a JMME or two?

Superb Steve! Rare to see all those 1st Patterns 'roosting' together. Any 2nd Pattern Alu's?

Thanks guys!

So I wanted to know, how often do you see Aluminum pilot badges (not PO, just pilot)...1 in 10, 1 in 100, or.....? and then what is the most 'commonly' seen maker in your experience?

Sadly no second patterns in the flock yet Eric. I think they are almost more rare. In the past, when one of those came up for sale, I had other "irons in the fire".

As JTW mentioned, only a few makers.....here there are 3 Assmann, 2 Juncker, and the IMME on the end. Still need to work on my photography to shoot as well as JTW!
