Javi,

Unless I am missing something, it looks like a good example of a BSW. Compared with several other known examples, it shows similar characteristics. I like the hinge, rivets, obverse die, etc. For $850 including etui, a very good deal. That is almost too cheap!

Javi,

I think we see it the same. But what do you mean by "beech"? I'm not quite sure.

Just for the fun of it, can you get a close-up of the makermark. Your photos are pretty good, by the way.

Regards,
Mark

Javi,
This looks like a badge that was for sale here on the E-stand a short while ago.
I believe it has a re-soldered pin.
Cheers,

Hi Mark,

My english is not very good and I´m with a web translator... perhaps it doesn´t translate very good what i was thinking
I say that it´s very good price to be "good" badge and case, and perhaps it have some trick.
about the pics i have no anymore, they are from the seller, i asked for more pics from the case.
and about the badge, the pin looks repaired, am i right?

Javi,

Yes, I agree with Brian, that it was repaired. Although it is impossible to guess as to when the pin was repaired, it looks to me that it may be an old repair. That is still a very decent price for an otherwise good badge, and a case. Even if the case is not matching to the badge (but it might be!), you are still only paying about $550 - $600 for the badge. Either that, or pay in excess of $1000 - $1300 for a cased BSW Pilot.

I've some images on the way. Stand-by......

Brian was right, this badge was on the stand months ago.His price was 500€,... perhaps only is the badge for sale? i don´t know...
I´m waiting for the seller answer and photos of the case.

thanks MArk and Brian for your opinions.

Javi (Is that your real name?),

Well if it was 600E, then that is about $780+. As you say, it may depend on a 'good' case or not, with the deal.

Am just posting images of two of my similar BSWs. The Pilot has the spelled out name, the DoppelAbz. has the cloverleaf.

Mark

Actually, I'd like a close-up of the repair on your example.

[mmiller]

Upon closer exam, your example has a pretty long beak. It's tricky to compare the beaks though, as the lighting and 'angles' on the images are not the same.

What I do like is the 'bridge' on the top arm of the swaz.

This badge was on the e-stand a few months back, I think it was much more than 5oo E, or at least the starting, I think it was around $900 or $1000. The seller also forgot to mention the repaired pin...

[javi_e]

yes spunky, it was for 500€ i have read one post createdfor me in GCA. and it was for 500€.

MArk, you´re rigth, my name is Javi, thanks for all your opinions on this badge,

Hi, Yep these pictures are the same ones as used on the E-stand and the original e-stand price didnt include the case.
Cheers

Thanks in advance!
