Luftwaffe Badge Contest

[rfleming32]

I just had the best month I am likely to ever have with regard to collecting badges. I have 10 new badges, six of them cased, that are all nice early ones. Rather than posting a show and tell, I thought I would make it interesting and show only the front of the badges and you can guess the maker. I will post the results in a few days along with the rest of the photo's. What do you win? Bragging rights. The attached link will give you the photo's. If you click on the photo, it will enlarge. Any comments or observations would be very welcome. Best Regards, Richard.

The pictures are labeled 1.1 through 1.10 for reference.

this would be very interesting to me if I had a clue. Is there a resource/book that will teach me about various variations/makers, what makes them different, how to tell fakes from real, etc? I really need help here. I have read Lumsden's book a couple times and is a start but Im still lost. Thanks to those willing to help.

7 out of ten - pretty good for a quick glance.

[Jos L C]

Well,I'm always a "7" ,will check again tomorrow,I'm worn out..
Probably there will be a Jmme's involved and maybe the Deumer is B&NL..
I'm too tired..

...and..do it by heart,guys,not checking any files..,that's cheating !

BTW,forgot to mention,great original badges..

I'll go along with Jos....

But I'll say 1.5 is a JMME, 1.6 is a Juncker, and 1.8 is a JMME

[rfleming32]

I screwed up - he got 8 out of ten with his quicj try. Keep guessing.
