Heeres Flakabzeichen, Unknown maker.

[rbminis]

Although not really my collecting focus, I could not turn down the opportunity to add this one to my collection.
From an unknown maker and referred to as a "pillow crimp".
This example is in very good condition except that the finish has been absorbed due to the zinc material that the badge has been made of.

Nice one Ralph ! I had one of these a couple years ago, and they are really well made awards. Those pillowcrimps are scarce to find in good condition.

Are there any new thoughts on who made these ?

Thanks Chris!
Not that I am aware of.

Hi Ralph,

Nice original pillow crimp flak, not an easy one to find for sure.

As to the maker, nothing really conclusive. There are some pillow crimp Wound Badges marked for BH Mayer L/18, but that is really the only tentative lead we have at this time unfortunately.

Textbook pillow crimp. Great addition for sure.

Regarding to the maker I would tend to look at a Pforzheimer

Thank you for your replies Tom and Giel!
