Karsten S Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Thought I would show you this early FLL ROAG, with buntmetall wreath and aluminum eagle. This is in top condition with high polish on the obverse highlights. These are rare an so underrated. I know of only one with cupal wreath and alu eagle. Please post your FLL ROAG Cheers Karsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Temple-West Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I must say that I’m not a big fan of FLL’s RO/AG or Observer badges, but this example is certainly helping me change my mind. An unusual combination of materials + wonderful condition makes this badge quite special. Good find, Karsten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I've not seen an FLL RO/AG before - this one is stunning! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyanacek Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Very nice looking badge, Karsten. I've always liked the look of Friedrich Linden Air Gunner Badges. Here is a late war zinc version FLL badge that I have owned for a long time. It think it has a great look for a zinc badge.

Karsten S Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 This is the rarest FLL ROAG I have ever seen. Handled it last weekend. It is very light weighted. Enjoy Cheers Karsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karsten S Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) Hi Guys ! Great ROAG`s . Karsten is the second one a cupal ? Jan Arne Hi Jan It is most likely copper coated. I don´t think it is solid copper. In the meantime I have managed to secure it for my collection @Eric that is a sweet zincer in the best condition. It has the age look to it, but is still in remarkable condition with highpolish. Karsten Edited May 1, 2010 by Karsten S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERIC Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Thanks Karsten! Does your cupal example have an aluminum eagle? Looks to be by the rivits and would explain its light weight. ERIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsten S Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 Thanks Karsten! Does your cupal example have an aluminum eagle? Looks to be by the rivits and would explain its light weight. ERIC Hi Eric Great to find a soul-mate of these ROAG and AG´s It has been a while since I had this bugger in the hand, but my memory is clearing. The eagle and wreath is aluminum with a copper coating on the wreath. The entire badge weights only 13,5 gram. Cheers Karsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERIC Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Hi Eric Great to find a soul-mate of these ROAG and AG´s Ditto! There are so few of us around! Hey K, regarding the FLL's - ever seen or heard about one of their buntmetal wreath ROAGs WITHOUT an aluminum or aluminum/cupal combination eagle? Every FLL ROAG example with a buntmetal wreath that I've come across has an aluminum eagle. Same goes for their Observer Badge - always seems to be buntmetal wreath/aluminum eagle combination!
