WH Flak badge - any good?

[JasonS]

I have had this for some time and I have wondered for awhile if it is any good. I would like to get some opinions on it as I might want to sell it on estand soon. I did search this forum for info about WH made badges but I don't know for sure if it is good or not.

I know the first photo is a bit blurry and I will try and take a better one when the sun comes out again.

Thanks for the help,

JasonS

Geez, that is a crappy shot! The shape of the hole and the rondel under the breech look generally correct. Flat head. Does it have a greenish or very dark coating to it? I am going WAY OUT on a limb here with those pics but it looks fine.

I need a better shot of the eagle...

[JasonS]

Here is what I have concerns about....The hinge is not like the ones I saw posted here. The pin is broken off (I do have the pin).

[JasonS]

last one for now. I know the photo of the front is bad Marc. I will try and get another ASAP.

Darrel,
One look at a clear shot of the front and I will tell you for certain.

Good. And it is the same as the WH and "Wernstein" eagle. Yet another to pile on the heap of things connecting the two. The hinge has the proper recess, and the catch is a little less of a C than I would expect, but maybe it is replaced or the guy had an off day bending the wire. The back is probably some metal issue I am sure Frank could better explain. Just for giggles could you post height, width, and weight?

Full shot. Last one for the night. Thanks for the help folks (and the laughs)

Sorry to say I don't have the tools for that right now. I could take a trip my my gunsmith buddy and have him do the 3 for me, but it will be awhile.
