I was VERY lucky to score this fine Funke Flak - certainly the best condition one I have ever seen. In fact, it is the first silver plated one I have come across. The only others I have seen have a bronze wash with a silver brenlack over it. This badge just SCREAMS it is so shiny. The weights and measurements are spot on; in fact they are so close to the others I have seen I have to applaud the factory for the tight tolerances! The hinge is ever so slightly different from others I have seen in that it has a sheet metal hinge as the others, but instead of a tension wire pin this one is a small barrel. Just an outstanding L56. I think these may be the hardest to find of all the Army flaks, other than the NS Juncker.
