Pillow-Crimp Heer Flak

[Tom Yanacek]

Hi Guys,

Here is a badge that I purchased recently. I wanted one of these pillow-crimp Heer Flaks ever since the mid-70s, when I first saw one pictured in Angolia's book. Now, at last, I have one. The badge has great detail and I think it is in nice condition. Looks like the beak of the eagle got smooshed a bit but otherwise it looks perfect.

59.92mm high x 44.54mm wide and weight is 24.2 grams.

Best regards,
Tom

I agree 2 good ones...still a Vienna Design but I do like their choice in crimping.

Amazing how this variation always has such great finish remaining.

Very nice addition Tom, glad you were finally able to find one of these after a long search.

Its interesting to see the same tiger-stripe pattern to the finish we often see on the pillow-crimp IABs & PABs as well.
