Para Badge Thoughts

[FreddieAB]

Hello All,

Im on the scrounge for some of your hard earnt knowledge again.

I was wondering what the opinion is on this badge. It is a B&NL apparently from Jamie Cross originally.

I did ask for some more pictures but they are not even as good as these.

Go for it or run for it?




Thanks All.

Go for it, it is a good one.

Also this G H Osang.

From my tiny experience in these matters I think the makers stamp is not right and head looks a bit iffy.

Please let me know if Im on the right tracks or if Im miles off.

I have been going through the forums trying to guess if a badge is fake or real, using the info I have gleaned so far, before reading the opinions of others. So far Ive not done to bad.

However, I was not looking to buy those so I have posted here. Personnaly I dont like this Osang, but I know diddly squat compared to some of you.



Thanks everyone for any advice given.

[Frank Heukemes]

You are right about the Osang. Not original for the reasons you stated, well spotted.

I like the B&NL as well, nice buntmetal eagle on it from the look.
Also against the Osang, eagle and MM both wrong, although the wreath looks quiet presentable.
Whats the price on the B&NL?

Thanks Frank & Skip.

I pick up little bits of info everyday. Have spent hours looking at pictures, threads and books. Only been able to view one 'real' badge but when it comes to parting with cash Im still not confident in my own knowledge, but learning all the time.

A real Osang Freddie - you can see the differences in the eagle right away!

Skip,

The B&NL is £250. With certificate from Jamie Cross. Not a real bargain but not bad price either I think. This is also my first purchase in this field.

Hi Freddie,

Thats not a bad price if the eagle really is buntmetal. German dealers want around 500€ for these.
