help with Prussian pilot badge

[Ron Birch]

Well things were looking up for the moment. Since the badge I have had only one vent hole below the catch and that didn't seem to be a problem, but now the crown I have one that is ray backed half or really quarter moon C.E. Junker with 800 mark on it. I guess if they have a fake section on these badges at least I can donate a picture. Thanks for the input.


Well after double checking some information I will hold on to my badge and will try to post...........I think it would be post war.........but nobody seems for sure.

Thanks for posting Rick...

I tried to lay it on the scanner but apparently this does not work so well. I do see differences in the badges though,less viens in the leaves running on the left but the eagle on the side has more detail, that you probably can't see but having it in hand I can. So I really don't know what to think on this badge. Guess I better invest in a camera also.

Scanner brand?
My epson works great...I've read that the HP scanners don't handle depth as well as other brands....
