Hi Guys,
So time ago I spent quite sometime reading the Karl or Carl Poellath Pilot thread, and still was confused at the end of it. Could someone who may have read the thread or have knowledge of these markers, confirm if one or both are correct period makers of the pilots badges, as I have seen period cases for the the Carl, especially ones contain pilots badges.
I have attached a couple of pictures of a hollow pilots badge with the marking along the pin, i have not encountered the markings on the pin previously, perhaps other may have.' genuine piece or not???
I look for to your thoughts, on the Carl or Karl and especially on this badge.
In my collection I have a badge with a weep hole, and is genuine hollow constructed, does not have a half circle indentation on back of crown, but rather the recess follows the shape of the Bavarian crown, it is marked carl poellath , schrobenhausen, SILBER , still I am unsure on which ones are accepted, as stated above? i have looked at medalnet site also, it is still it not clear, as this badge does not fall into the two catergories of fakes, as he states badges with semi circle recesses are consider fake, and ones with spidering on the back marked with silver should be a be red flag, so i am confused where this badge that i have fits in?
Many thanks for your help.
Kind regards
Wayne
