Ferg1 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Thought some of you might enjoy a glimse into my Imperial German aviation badge collection. First up ,four variations of the Errinerungsabzeichen fur Heersluftschiffer. Three are un-marked one is Juncker. All are silvered buntmetall,two have remains of green lacquer on the wreaths. Interestingly, the vertical pin example has, in fact, a 57er pin and catch on a 1930's badge !! Work that one out ! Badge with green and shaped pin is almost certainly from the maybauer outlet. Cloth arm badges are Marine luftschiffer and a rare fieldgrey army example. The army piece has some sort of ' anti-fluffing ' lacquer applied to it, (seen before on marine sleeve patches). Hope you enjoy!Ferg1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike K Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Hi Ferg,I love the Meybauer! The aft gondola cut-out detail on the needle-pin example puts the Juncker to shame!RegardsMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schießplatzmeister Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) Hello pinpon590:The badge that you present for review appears as though it may have been manufactured by a casting method. It also appears to possibly be artificially patinaed. The pin assembly also looks a bit "modern".I am not an expert regarding these particular badges however, so I will beg your patience as I know that there are other folks on this forum that know these pieces well.Best regards,"SPM" Edited May 16, 2008 by Schie?platzmeister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 It does look like a cast copy to me. Ferg1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I would agree about the casting - very 'soft' overall. And as SPM said, the hinge/pin/catch is unlike the quality setups one would expect on a period piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferg1 Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Yup, not a good one I am afraid. I would say too that it was a casting ,sorry,Ferg1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
