Heer Flak Opinions

[Spike Jones]

Just thought I would post some pics of my latest purchase. After reading Robert's EWE PAB thread, I wonder what you will think about the reverse of this.

All comments welcome.

An over keen hand filer in my opinion

nice looking badge Spike and I love the vertical catch plate.

Hi Spike,

Lovely zinker with uncommon set-up variant. I already had this badge in my files because the amount of handfiling on this badge is absolutely amazing. Although handfiling for sure isn't unusual to see on these Juncker flak badges I have never seen it to this extend.

I belive the badge is vaulted therefore that type of catch must be verticle as opposed to horizontal.

That had not crossed my mind, good point.

Hi Spike,
I think that someone was working hard overtime on your flak badge. Hand finishing is great on it. Edges on this badge must be smooth like baby face.
And no African connection…

Thanks for the comments gents.

Do we think this was done at the end of the manufacturing process or by the recipient ?

Spike,
Logically (IMO) it should be done at the end of manufacturing process, before applying the paint.
