    Hello to all,

    I have been checking some other badges by Hobacher and have been noticing some striking similarities amongst hardware components. The tool marks on the pins and catches look identical in most cases, as if they were all made on the same wire bender.

    Best regards,
    Tom

    Here is a WH Luft. Flak:

              (This badge shows the same evidence of grinding/deburring that is present on the W.H. Wien Heer Flak.)

                      (Note the excessive use of soldering paste, which is quite typical for these badges.)

                            As I see it right now, there can only be two posibilities: Either the four badges I posted (Heer Flak, Luft Flak, IAB & Wound Badge) are all original or they are all fake.

                              Can you do a collage of the hinges and then the catches for an easy comparision?

                              ps- I'm liking it so far.

                                Hi Tom,

                                I like it, nice work Tom!

                                Tom
                                If it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a little
