'Numbered' Luft Tank Assault
I go along with the guys that say "Yes!" . In the early 80's I had started picking up tank badges & had accumulated 108 of them which included all the numbered "Heer" versions & 3 of the Luftwaffe type - (un-numbered, black finished) which was a 1 piece stamped pattern in the same pattern as the Luft Ground Assault. The others were a "50" & a "75" version which were 3 piece construction with a seperately attached eagle, 2 rivets, 'barrel' hinge set-up & not maker marked. I sold both Luftwaffe Tank Assaults to 'Mr. For Fuhrer and Fatherland'. If they were all 'fantasy' pieces then it sure is strange that J.R. (Jack) Angolia, [who published how many books refering to Third Reich awards?], laid out the cash to buy these badges from me!

That doesn't mean much. Angolia bought a lot of things and sold many fakes. If he bought Luftwaffe Panzer badges from you I bet he sold them to someone else for big money. Back in 1983, Angolia tried to sell me a Panzer Badge in silver for 200 assaults (I posted a photo of it on this forum). When I dared question it (because it was 100% bad) I got a hatefu letter which basically said I was a kid with no experience and he was an expert. I should know more things before I question something of his. I am so glad I did not send him $1,200.00+. That is one of many stories I have about "Mr. For Fuehrer and Fatherland".
