How about some Pilot Badge stats?

[Lorenzo Brown]

OK. Guys. I'm taking a cue from Greg Hays in the Heer Forum (http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...ad.php?t=73186) and starting a similar thread here for Pilot Badges.

So post your Luftwaffe Pilot Badge holdings here and I will accumulate a running total. Although we will never know how many badges were actually made, we should be able to get a good representative sample from the WAF members.

Post your Pilot badges by maker, variation and Tombak or zink. We will do Pilot Observer badges, Observer badges, et al later. I will cut-off this thread and post and stick the totals in about a month.

I will begin with my own collection:

Juncker J2 tombak- 2
Assmann tombak- 2
IMME tombak-1
JMME buntmetal- 1
OM buntmetal-1
BNL tombak-1
Deumer tombak- 1


Post away and let us know what you currently hold!

Might be forgetting some?
