Maker Identification

[Dietrich Maerz]

Can the maker of these badges be identified on this picture?

Hi Dietrich,

The GAB, PAB and IAB share the BH Mayer/ Frank&Reif design.

Looks like an interesting catalog, from which maker is it?

[Dietrich Maerz]

Not yet ...

Hi Dietrich

Minesweeper plumes can be very distinctive on certain makers. Is the glare on the upper part of the plume due to your scan/pic. Is it possible to get a clearer view of it.

Graeme

I concure with Geil thats the IAB, GAB and PAB are F&R / BH mayer
to bad no hardware shots in catalogue

Are these not drawings?

I think we have covered this catalog technique numerous times.

Here is the mine sweeper as a bigger picture. They don't look like drawings to me - especially later in the catalogs are hundreds of minis. Not painted!

Yes, I know.
Still more like drawings than photographs, though.
Can't be 100% accurate, and so can be misleading.

OK...........we just agree to disagree on that one.

That picture is from Signal and also shows two German Crosses. And the picture is NOT a drawing as I will show in my upcoming DK book.

So you are now comparing what to what?

Robin is right. The sub badge looks nothing like a Minesweeper badge.......

Well judging the IAB it´s more Frank & Reif design wise.
The so called B.H.Mayer IAB has a different leaf design on the one in between the riflebutt and sling...

I agree the IAB looks nothing like what we commonly refer to as the BH Meyer IAB. But does look much more like the Frank & Reifs we know from the marked zincers.
