robert pierce Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 This very badge is on page 162-3 in Mickael Tucker's book, and marked 'F&BL'. I know it's always been known as the 'unknown maker', and this marking is new to me too, but perhaps it's a clue as to who originally made it. Some say the mark could have been a distribution mark, stamped on the badge after production. But my argument to this is, have you ever tried to stamp a zinc badge? A tombak yes, being nonferrous metal. But zinc, it will break, crack. The zinc badge in the book is stamped 'F&BL'. If you don't have the book, Mickael gave me permission to post a photo at will.Robert Pierce
robert pierce Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 This is an area I would really like to see studies and discussed. I have a great interest in the flak badges, both Heer and Luftwaffe.Here are some photos of your badge, I believe, from Mickael Tucker's book, pages 162-3...Robert
