ERIC Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Here's another new birdie for the nest - a nice example of the 2nd Pattern Assmann Pilots Badge, with an aluminum eagle and buntmetal wreath. An Assmann Pilot variant I've been looking to pick up for quite some time now ever since I saw your example JTW. Hope you all like it!ERIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERIC Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 No Dan, it wasn't - you can see why they moved away from it quickly to harder materials. I guess I'll nickname it "Stevie"! ERIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmiller Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 (edited) Hi Eric, and All,What a star for your collection. Another rare, and I do say rare, example. Can you post the series (Assmann Pilots or P/Os) so I can see them 1, 2, 3, etc. I know the J1-3s, but Assmanns are tougher to find.Regards,Mark Edited August 31, 2008 by mmiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmiller Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 JTW,I'm shocked it took you so long. (I hope that this time lapse is not a sign of 'life outside of the hobby'?!) Anyway, your images are perfect for what I was looking for. Super pieces. I don't know where you find all these variants, if that is the socially acceptable term di jour. But they are beautiful. It's easy to see how someone can become an Assmann enthusiast.But now what happens when we introduce the later consecutive eagles? Is it like an A1, A2, and A3 scenario, mixing wreaths and eagles?Best Regards,MM :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
