J Temple-West Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 The hunt for a nice original glider pilot's badge finally comes to an end.Thanks to a fellow member, I can stop having to look through all those fakes and rest easy...until a 'Juncker', of similar quality, comes along, that is. I know? it?s never ending. So, to the badge... An unmarked example, in Tombak, by the maker 'BSW'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stijn David Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Hi john, Just magnificent , and you have one wher ethe catch is still present. That is the true week point on these BSW badges. You will find the majority with the catch broken of (due to wear, etc .. etc .. ) but this just has it all !!! Congrats once again, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
