Outstanding L56

[Marc Garlasco]

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.

Very nice addition to the NY Ableitung! I hope to find one at the SOS this year especially since the competition won't be as bad...

Beautiful badge.

Thanks gents. She really is a gem, and so hard to find. Always happy to add an army flak badge as these Heer flaks are super hard to find for a combat badge.

Absolutely gorgeous Marc, excellent catch bro! Not only a rare badge that I would add to the collection anyday, but the fact that it is absolutely mint is just icing on the cake. Really nice badge, congrats.

Hi Mark,

This piece is absolutely amazing! Never seen a F&B piece with silver plated finish before. Also the hinge is the first for me.

Very nice Marc. It must be getting hard to find new additions to your Flak Abteilung.

Thanks Gents - some more photos of the hinge.
