      Great eyes Indy! I think that this "semi circle" could be from the soldering fixture used by the assembler.

        thx Robert

        I think that semicircle line was designed on the casting model...and there is another line whcih is straight and just below the catch a bit . Eric, does your FLAK have these 2 lines?

        best regards

              Skip,
              does your FLAK have circle or semi circles like these from Indy posts?

                Yes it does, although rather hard to capture with my camera.

                        Hi Robert,

                        Why?

                        Juncker used 2 different eagles on their luftflaks and changed the 88 design 3 times. On the Juncker flaks you can clearly follow the deterioration of the eagle which finaly forced them to use a new eagle die.

                        The eagle is a seperate piece of the badge so maybe B&NL had similar problems with the eagle die or it broke al of a sudden. For whatever reason they were forced to replace it and while the new Juncker eagle, design wise stayed close to the old one, B&NL might have chosen for a completly new design that for them was much more expresive than the old one. God knows eagle designs on more than 1 luftwaffe badge saw several changes during the production cycle.

                        I agree very uncommon but not impossible and it would also explain where the fakers found there inspiration for the claw foot eagles.
