    Luftwaffe Pilot's badge opinions.

    I don't like the looks of this OHG aluminium eagle badge but it came from a pretty trusted source (long story not worth typing!). Does anyone have any factual info on it? Here are links to pics...

    Hi Andrew,

    Bogus not just because of the maker´s mark. The whole badge is of a "fantasy" design and it has what we call the FUGLY head.
    Cheers, Frank

      Check out the FUGLY eagle on that bogus IMME and you know what I am talking about. A fantasy design that comes with a dozen maker marks.

          "Fugly", a good word for this stuff...better word for the guys that make them. Any idea when and who made this one?

                "Fugly" and a "high wedgie"...this is getting too technical for me!
                Seriously thanks guys. Didn't want to put it in the dumpster and find out later I had the rare prototype crotchless eagle variant!

                  My highly technical artwork will translate the jargin, for you...

                  Wedgie = the cutout, between the legs, is far too high (said in a very high voice)

                  Fugly = As has already been discribed..

                  Dipped Wreath = As can be seen, the Wreath has a pronounced "dip".. Not to be mistaken for certain 'Assmann' patterns which although slightly dipped, are not to this degree..

                    You have GOT to be kidding me. That looks like a cartoon character.

                      I found out a few years ago that a Assmann marked PO I got in 1986 was one of these fugly's. I do remember getting it by trading back to the guy a lot of SS cloth insignia I had gotten from him that I had grown suspect of. One repro for another, dooohh
