Daisy, Daisy, Daisy!!!

At the moment, I handle all of these as separate, unknown makers. But I have a plan how to bring more hard facts into this. Will need you for two/three days in autumn to take some trips with me to get closer to the truth. It will delay my book some, but it will make it a better book as well.

My bags are already packed Frank! Looking forward to receive more info on the field research

I wanted to keep this thread a little clean.
So I posted my Daisy in a seperate thread.
Maybe this badge will help a little for more information.

Hi guys, I'm sure you all have seen this ... but I have noticed a die flaw on the bottom arm of the Swastika. All present except for the last pic shown by Philippe.

[Philippe DB]

These badges also don't feature the flaw in the left swas arm, visible on all the other badges posted so far.

Except for the gun, I see profound differences in the eagle design, which I use as a means to differentiate between 1st ans 2nd pattern. However, I do more believe in the possibility of 1st and 2nd pattern being two different makers. On top of that, it might be debated that more than one maker made 2nd pattern badges.

Hi guys,
I have to agree with Frank’s point of view in linking solid Daisy variant to SC hollow 2nd pattern. Similarities in eagles design cannot be ignored. Eagles feathering pattern and pebbling present on the 2nd pattern hollow buntmetall version as on solid variants really speaks for linking them together. At the same moment please note, that buntmetall 1st pattern eagle feathers are different and there is no pebbling between eagle wings and claws. Now there is one more thing to keep in mind. If Marcus Daisy will turn out to be good, then hardware used on his badge (block hinge) should help to link 2nd pattern hollow variant with solid version even farther.

Dear Robert,

All these badges are from the same designer just like the Hymmen and FCL PAB's. At this moment I don't think we need to link them to anything anymore.

Trying to put the Daisy in only two categories probably was to narrow minded. It served its purpose for a while but at the moment I think taking in to concideration one or maybe a few more makers is the correct thing to do.

So at this moment we have the

1.First Pattern BM and zinc hollow variant
2.Second Pattern BM and zinc hollow variant
3.At least 3 slightly different types of the solid variant

Hi Guys,

Here is two second pattern Daisy's ( hopefully ) One has the pebbled part beside the Eagles legs and the other has first a semi circle and then the pebbling, they are also slightly different on the back.

Anthony

Morning Guys,

Well these Daisy's for sure manage to keep me busy lately. After seeing Anthony's pic I gathered all of them arround the table and notiiced the following.

First we have the 2 pattern buntmetall badges
