    Here are the Bavarians! As you may have noticed by now I do not always choose the perfect minty clean examples to collect. A used and slightly worn badge has much more appeal to me than an untouched squeaky clean example (although I like those too) They have more of the ' smell of the battlefield ' feel about them. Here are two silver pilot badges (spokes in both wheels) One is Karl Pollath 800 and the other is Carl Poellath 800 (marked on pin ). Lighter one of the two was recovered from a lake in Bavaria!! Still retains much of its frosting. Next are two observer badges one is ,again, Karl Pollath 'silber' and the other is an interesting altered Prussian issue piece . I have seen this crown change before on an issue pilot badge ( there is a sanke card of a pilot wearing one ,can't remember who it is though). This badge has definately ' been there' ! Then the retired pilot badge ,this time marked just C.POELLATH. SCHROBENHAUSEN it is neusilber and is probably 30's or so. Finally is a 900 solid silver air gunner badge. Heavy pin marked 800 to take the weight of the badge three rivet attachment for the eagle and four rivets to the patinated brass back plate. Again, probably a 1920's private order but lovely detail and not a type I have seen before . Ferg1.
