Early Deumer Observer

[Matthieu]

I thinks most of you have already seen this one for sale on a well known dealer site . I have been drawn to this badge for quite some time, untill I could no longer resist. I put in an offer for it and it got accepted ...

And then it arrived in the mail this morning and I'm even more amazed by the amount of detail, quality and overall workmanship that have gone into this badge ...

Looking forward hearing your thoughts and input on this badge.

Hinge & pin ... that "P" looking mark on the pin, is that a typical toolmark or some sort of makers mark ??

Hi Mathijis,

Very nice pickup! Just like everyone else, I too often came back to that Observer, but could never pull the trigger on it for some reason. Maybe a bit too worn for me, I really don't know. I think the price was VERY good, glad it has found a nice home.

I can only agree that its a textbook early Deumer, with its own unique wreath and eagle design. Hardware also confirms it was made by them, very nice badge.

Nice indeed. Just the right patina, and I like the pin stamp!
