Richard Gordon Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 (edited) Well it was time to achieve another first for my collection... You don't see them often and Marc's beauty from the Kassel show was the motivator. Underneath the patina is a almost mint finish. Difficult to capture but when the light catches the highlights they sparkle. Some pics to follow for your viewing pleasure.Rich Edited December 17, 2005 by Richard Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Gordon Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 The way the pin is mounted in the hinge feels flimsy. Are your OM's like that too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Arne S Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 (edited) Hi Richard !Nice Looking Pilotbadge maker OM . It always feels good to find a badge that have been on the hunting list for a long time . I dont know how long time I used to find my OM Pilotbadge , but then I found 2 in a couple of weeks , but one of them have a secondary pin . I have this one in a Banksafe , but from pics it looks like it could be like You describe .Jan Arne Edited December 17, 2005 by Jan Arne S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Temple-West Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Here's one that will bring tears to your eyes.. If it weren't for the obvious it would be an absolutely mint piece. An old photo, so not seen at its best.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Temple-West Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 The other one. Some interesting similarities between these 'O.M' birds and Kurt's 'JMME' variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
