I'm still collecting!

[pattex]

Hello guys,
I'm still collecting and want to present a new piece for my collection.

Flyer’s Commemorative Badge - retired pilot - Flieger Erinnerungsabzeichen

It is a very early set by Steinhauer & Lück.

The badge is a very rare example, but from my perspective the miniature is much more rarer.

I hope you like this set and also go on with collecting .

Good hunting!

best regards
Pattex

Hi Pattex!!!
Great to see new pieces, and to hear that you are still a keen 57 collector!!
The retired pilot badge is a rare one, and in the earliest form like yours very rare!!
The stickpin is very nice too, did that come together with the badge??

Hi Nigel,
thank you, no, the stickpin didn't come together with the badge. I reunited both pieces .

And yes, I'm still fascinated of 57er items .

From my perspective this is nearly the last section of militaria, where you need luck to complete your collection and not only a big amount of money .

best regards
Pattex

Another great piece, congrats Patrick!

Amen to that brother!!!
Two nice S&L Lifesaving medals have sold in the last couple of weeks for 10 & 12 Euro's!
Luftschutz 1st & 2nd class have sat unsold at a reasonable price for a while.
And a super Ehrenblattspange sold for pennies too!!!
Lots of great 57ers can still be bought for not much money, RK's, DK's etc. always get good money, but other pieces are still out there to be bought without spending a fortune!!!

I 'm sure that you'll all see the large bucks driving more out of the collecting arena than eagerly jumping in ! MO Tom

Very nice piece you have there Pattex. Like I said, you are picking up some very early rare pieces that we don't see that often.

Hi Pattex,

As stated a very rare piece that I believe very few own. A perfect example of the "luck" involved in 57er collecting!

Best,

Jeff

Pattex, nice addition there of a very rare Luft badge. Here's my early twin for your comparison.
