Well I'm sure Don was looking for some fancy dancy Darth Vaderism type photos from you instead

Guys,
I don’t see anything wrong with those badges. However in my opinion RS doesn’t belong here.

[Don D.]

Thanks Darrel, these are fine. Robert, I included the RS because the eagle's head on the badge that started this thread matches the RS more closely then all the others.

Don,
I guess it is the same classic mystery as we got with the “W” type obverse design for PAB’s. Same father for many of them, but who was the mother? Jeez this sounds weird…...And just like with the flat back PAB’s obverse dies are identical, but the reverse design slightly very from badge to badge, but thanks to the existence of the “hybrid” flat back PAB’s we now know that these flat backs came from one and the same manufacturer. These Heer flat back badges are just their mirror view in their own Flak category…

If it wasn't for the parrot beak on the first one in this thread I probably would never had said anything.

Does anyone have one of these badges I can use for my book?
