notned Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Hello Gents,I have the opportunity to purchase this Luftwaffe Pilot/Observer badge.It has the 900 silver stamp to the reverse and what looks like a recipients initials stamped on the back also...I was thinking it was a private purchase item as there is no maker mark on it...Please let me know what you think!CheersPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike K Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 (edited) Hi Paul,I'm thinking it's a cast repro. The markings are wrong as the PM font is way too large and the patina on the eagle certainly does not look like 900 silver. The obverse detail does not look great. One to avoid imo.RegardsMikePS: the eagle looks like a Juncker J3? Edited May 2, 2006 by Mike K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Temple-West Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I would have to agree with Mike on this one, Paul. Keep your money in your pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
