Ferg1 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 As in keeping with my enjoyment for aviation badges with that ' been there ' feel here is a newcomer to my hoard. 800 silver KARL POLLATH example that has seen some action. Came from a German family source but I am still trying to ascertain the name of the pilot from the family. The cross has been removed at top of badge and the pin,hinge cover and catch have been repaired/replaced (contemporary). Interestingly ,the hinge cover ,the curved piece over the actual hinge assembly looks to have been cut from another badge as it has detail of some sort of stamped texture on it. Anyone contemplating a Bavarian pilot badge have a good look at the details of this one and compare it to the vast majority of the Bavarian badges out there,his one is from the period ! Ferg1.

Stogieman Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 This one has actually been around a bit. it's pretty distinctive with the damages... will try and find my saved pix. No guarantees, have had some computer woes last few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregM Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I don't really know anything about pilots badges and will probably never own one butI really like this one. The sharp detail even with the wear to the high points and the dark patina. This one just has the look of quality to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VtwinVince Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Nice, I like these well-worn examples. I'm still looking for one of these, so keep me in mind if you want to unload it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
