Guest Darrell Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 Only in my dreams .... no wonder I cant find one ... you guys have them all !!! Stunner .. what more can you say
Steve K. Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 ZOW!!!!With the picture? Do you have his name? If so...that makes it even better!
J Temple-West Posted March 22, 2006 Author Posted March 22, 2006 Many thanks for all the kind comments, guys.
Richard Gordon Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 JohnLooks like a beauty! Was this the one Carsten Baldes had?One question... the hinge (attached to the pin part) looks gilded. I had thought the pin was standard (just blued) for all pilot and P/O. Is it gilded or is it worn? The hinge just looks a bit odd in the pic.Rich
J Temple-West Posted March 22, 2006 Author Posted March 22, 2006 Hi Rich,Yes it's the pic... The hinge is all brass which blends in with the gilding. Not unusual to find examples without the blued central piece. I was talking to T.C and, going on the MM, it looks like this badge one one earliest to be marked with the full name after the "CEJ" mark ended.Oh yes, this came from C.B.
ERIC Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 Truly a GREAT example John, congrats my friend! ERIC
Neil B Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 John,you have a knack of obtaining the most wonderful badges.A piece of that quality-with or without provenance-would grace any collection.Is the Officer in the picture the recipient?Neil
Guest alexeiby Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 Hi?what do you think about this award:pilot or pilot/observer?
J Temple-West Posted April 18, 2006 Author Posted April 18, 2006 Hi Alex,"Pilot or Pilot/Observer?" With most of the finish having been absorbed it's a hard call to make. Going on the photos, remnants of finish to the reverse look to be white which would point to it being a Pilot's badge.
Guest alexeiby Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Thanks,J Temple-West.Somebody will express the opinion?
