Hi David

is this the one on ebay.com?
Ohsang did never produce an Air Gunner Badge. So the badge is just junk....

Thorsten

Hello David,

Thorston is correct, G.H. Osang never made this series of awards.

Care on e-bay many, many fakes. Great place for reference books though.

Best Regards,
JD

While we are at it, here is another Osang fake of that badge. The defaced (Deumer type) eagle is not a standard thing to recognize it by, the face is ok on other examples of that fake.

The source you know by now, I think.

Cheers, Frank

Thanks for all of the help, You never know when a real badge will show up on ebay.

EBay has a rotating stock of merchandise. When someone finds out about their misfortune, they simply relist the item and sneak it off to someone else. Rarely you will find an authentic Luftwaffe piece in the myriad of offerings. Buyer needs knowledge of authenticity BEFORE buying. You've done the right thing by posting it here for review first.
