Gary B Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Dear Eric, A lovely badge. I believe that GWL had the finest finishing technique of any of the Luftwaffe badge manufacturer. Be careful in handling the P/O, as the silver finish can fade if not handled properly. I used to own a mint GWL P/O but over time the silver on the eagle started to turn brown and blacken in areas. I had never touched it and stored it like all my other medals so I assume it was something perhaps that it had come into contact with before I purchased the badge. Alas I sold it....but I used the money to buy a nice Assmann P/O.Gary B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Lyons Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I am chiming in rather late on this one Eric, but may I say, that is about the nicest badge that I have ever hadthe privelige of laying my eyes on, and imho, about the creme de la creme of badge collecting, just magnificent.Your photgraphy skills are extremely good too, really shows the award in all of it's true glory, thanks very much for sharing this gem,Cheers,Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
