Luftmensch Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Stogie mentioned in an earlier thread something about custom, hand-made pilots badges. I've always wondered about this badge, which is full scale, but has a lot of extra detailing, especially stippling to the leaves.Unfortunately I can't flip it over because it's attached to this Christmas present given to Lt. Berger in 1916.If dies exist for this extra-detailed version, I wonder of any officers actually wore examples this finished.RgdsJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftmensch Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 P.S. The inside is interesting, too. There Berger stored little tchotchkes he took off his worthy friends and foes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Murphy Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 John, OH......MY........God! French, RFC, RNAS, U.S. AND a Stork pin! I know this is the imperial German section, but you have got to post some pics of these pieces, maybe some group shots. There is no way you can leave me hanging like this.
