Heer Flak Badge

[Blued]

Hi all, I just joined the forum and look forward to learning as much as I can. I picked up this badge quite a while ago and wanted to get people's opinions. I had several established people look at it and they said they believe it's real. What do you guys think?

Looks like a nice original heeres flak by Herman Aurich of Dresden. Beware of people offering to buy it as it is a hard badge to find.

[Marc Garlasco]

Textbook Aurich - a lovely example.

Nice Badge!

[Raytheman]

Very nice. Do yourself a favor and treat it with Vaseline, I see a little sincpest coming up..

[Blued]

Thanks all, I appreciate it.

I heard about the use of Vaseline to get rid of that. Is there a chance of damaging the piece if I use it?

[Marc Garlasco]

No, just the opposite - it can only help.

Hi Chad:

Your flak badge looks great, and echoing Don's comments, it is a harder one to find. The vaseline treatment will be a great call.

I enjoyed searching the isles with you at the Pomona show, and hope to see more of your collection posted on the various forums.

Take care,
Dennis

I just realized I never did post pics after I cleaned it up. There's still a little vaseline left, but overall this proves the effective results of vaseline treatment!

[Raytheman]

Now that's a real improvement! Very nice
