Ok, for the newbee, is the American mouse actually part of the family or an interloper?

I also wonder

[Brian S]

Oh the mouse... He wishes he was stamped L/12, Galland's brave fliers purchased these from ???

I think this is one here (have to log in to House of History), though I don't know the history of them. I admit I was surprised to see a Mickey Mouse figurine on Kai Winkler's update one day

Any photos of any of these in wear? I'll search through my Galland book but I don't recall one there. Never know where a thread will go... Notice the ribbon detail, helped convince me on this one.

Here's an interesting piece.

Got this a few years ago, and was able to track down the owner 57 years ago, who sold it to the collector whos daughter sold it to me . Never could figure out if for real it was stamped like this originally., but it had been in the same utah mans estate for 57 years, and the man who owned it prior stated he got it from someone who brought it home, but remembered selling it to the man, and he said it was like this when he owned it, that was prior to 1955. As for the L12...we never could figure out who L12 was as opposed to Junker using L/12, as the marks are differfent, but for what or why is unknown. The badge got great revues, but the "guess census" was, It might have been stamped to make it more valuable. At that time in 55 items like this were but a few dollars,stampings didnt mean squat, so, I doubted later after tracking the badges owner down, that was the case. They may have tried stamping a Mkrs mrk on these, then decdided to not bother. But its a fitting place to show the back mark...although not the exact same,BUT... IS similar.

silvering worn off of high spots still has some remaining





Just thought you might want to see this as its been posted before, minus what i found out later, so its thought provoking anyway...cant say how it could ever be proven or disproven, but it exists regardless.
