Luftwaffe Not one you see every day...

[Richard Gordon]

I haven't see too many of these. I'm sure J T-W has one tucked away somewhere!

This one, as you can see is one of the earliest Assmann RO/AG badges (I don't know of any earlier type) but if you know of others please share them here.

It's superslim, just like the early Junckers. The detailing to the eagle is superb and so, so similar to the Juncker designs that you have to compare them side by side to see the slight differences. I wonder if the same die cutter made the dies for both companies?

It's marked just below the left rivet, not instantly noticeable but here's a close up.

That's the earliest version I know about Rich. What a stellar acquisition - you just don't see these at all, at least I don't or I would have one! Congratulations my friend!

Rich and John,

I'll have to 'fold' on this hand. I can't even ante-up. Very desirable awards you have.
