[tinmantis]

Hi all
yeah, it's mine!
direct from the 'burnt out Zimmermann horde'
what are your views? maybe THE rarest spange in the whole world, eh?

nice high relief in chest and swastika, tapered thickness on wings too, all pretty correct...

super crisp

Hi, this is very interesting, I take it this would be a piece that was waiting to be finished after being struck out? It looks like a great match to the one that you show.

last one:
why wasn't this in full production?

[tinmantis]

btw I have never ever seen a Zimmermann spange before, and I'm guessing noone else has either...?

I like the looks of it jon,

The fine detail to every area of the badge is complimentary to Zimmermann quality. Tombak base metal. There has to be others, even if they're as rare as Juncker's tombak Heeresflak badges. Very nice.

yeah, this is so super crisp too. Fully silvered and finished must be awesome
but where are they?
no feather viens makes me think of early war too, but no significant (zero) production, why?
are there any other 'basic' awards that Zimmermann didn't produce?

Impressive details on that unfinshed spange. I really like it.
And like you, I would love to see the final product.

One thing that could "scare" me now, is that they would pop up regularly now, after you have showed this one.
But let us wait and see.
Cool piece none the less
