Two Luftwaffe cased badges GOOD OR BAD

[MAL]

Hi All

Yet another two Luftwaffe cased badges, could I please once again have your opinions on these Cased wireless/gunner badge by JMME and a cased gunner/flight engineer I think by W DEUMER LUDENS.

Thanks

Looks like two good pieces to me. The IMME looks like a rare aluminum version while the Deumer looks like it's had some repair work done to the pin/hinge area?

Hi George L

Thanks for the help, I am only just starting to collect Luftwaffe badges and still green on the subject, where could I look to get an evaluation on both badges.

I would need to see better shots of the cases. The interiors look good but from what you're showing the exteriors look glossy and could be modern

Cases

Rich has a good point .... plus it always makes me nervous when photos provided by a seller are of such poor quality. How come the focus always gets fuzzy when something is bad?

Hi,

badges are original to me, but cases I am afraid are copies.....but to be sure we need more clear photos ....

Hi All,

At 13 grams, the IMME may be all aluminum. First one of that exact style (in aluminum) I can recall seeing.

Very unique. Nothing jumps out as being 'irregular'.
