Hi Jan,

You're right, although unmarked... 100% B&NL. One of the harder flak badges to locate.

Congratulations..

Hi Jan,

As John stated, 100% B&NL! Very difficult to locate one of these! I was lucky enough to find a marked example - although it has a hinge variation, the rest is all B&NL like yours. They are identical.

Just as a sidenote here Jan, besides the GWL Flak Badge, the B&NL Flak is the only other Flak Badge that I've seen that has the eagle rivited onto the wreath instead of soldered or sweated on.
