Hello gents,

Any ideas about this pilot badge? IMO a perfect matching one....Thanks a lot for your work!

Best regards,

WW

Hi!
These are very nice close-up pictures that could be used as a reference at any time!
They show the details of a textbook Quadratpunze badge with no backing plate:
The hardware is typical as well, incl. the mark that gave these badges their name.
The maker is assumedly Carl Dilennius - some hold the opinion that the square mark indicates non-precious metal
(Btw.: Has anybody seen a definite silver piece with a square mark instead of "800" or higher, or "Silber"? If so, I would like to see pictures of it...)
Congratulation to this fine original badge!

I have a similar cliche style badge with slightly different crown (less detail more iron cross style) and "800" on the pin instead of the square mark. No way I can provide photos as good as Walther's.

The badge in the link looks like mine except, as mentioned, mine has "800" stamped on the pin.
