Daniel Murphy Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 Luftmensch, Magnificent!! That is the only word to describe it. Austrian aviation badges are always beautiful, but this one by Rothe is, yes, magnificent. Dan Murphy
Luftmensch Posted January 2, 2006 Author Posted January 2, 2006 Thanks, Dan. I couldn't get the light right. The disc rivetted behind the crown shows nice red enamel with incised details, completely missing in the photos!

Temps around -5 to 0 C for the last few weeks. Edited January 3, 2006 by Darrell
