Flak for review please

[Stu W]

Hi guys,

I am thinking of buying this nickel plated Flak. It's a nice ball hinge type and my photography does not do it justice. Any suggestions as to maker? How about concerns?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Regards,
Stu

Perfect ball-hinge - die flaws are present. As for maker there are a few it could be, most likely Adolf Scholze, but there is no hard evidence to support that. Could be two others as well.

Hello,

A good ball-hinge with the flat top, unlike others out there by this maker, but still original.

Looks good from here!
I've had mine on the E-stand for weeks at a bargain price, but no interest!

Flak Badge

Hello,
Great badge and the ball hinge is my favorite style of flak. BTW, the example I own also has the flat top to the ball-hinge.

Super piece!

Jody,
The flat top is the most common on Tombak and round on zinc, though this is not a rule.

Hi Marc,
That is very interesting. I got my badge from a student and the badge belonged to her grandfather (he served on the Eastern front and in Italy). On the last day of school in 2004 she gave it to me.
