Opinion on Flak Badge

[Daniel.C]

I bought this badge years ago I believe it to be a Deumer. All opinions welcome !

I'm having difficulty getting the front pic of the badge up and running sorry.
I think the pic is too big

Looks like Deumer to me (from reverse). Correct hardware and file marks on the wreath.
Try compressing your photo of the obverse.

Hey, front side is Deumer also. Imagine that

And a very nicely detailed one to boot! Sometime the face is a bit mushed, but this one is sharp!

Thanks Marc and Frank. You know I bought this bird in an auction almost ten years ago with a bunch of other stuff.When I took a look at the badge's reverse at the time, I tried to compare it to other Flaks on line.
O.k it's unmarked.It's not a ball hinge.Kinda looks like a Juncker but the catch is wrong--- what the !@#$% is it? Then I came to the W.A.F and it's sorted out!Thanks Marc,Frank and Tom!!!Are these rare?I go to many dealer sights and they don't seem to pop up too often.I was looking for an
example on line to compare for almost ten years.

They're not rare by any means but not often encountered (IMO).

Hi Daniel,

They aren't rare, but also not really common.... more down the middle.

However, they are extremely well made and one of my favorite flaks, I just like Deumer badges in general.

Marc's Flak book is excellent, and has these covered very well.
