This badge has most of it's subdued finish on it. What are your thoughts about this one?

Looks good to me. Is the Assmann mark also present on the left reverse wing of the eagle?

Hi Yuri,


Seems they had some problems with the reverse die, not warm enough, dirty, who shall tell?

But apart from that a very nice and original badge IMO.

Hi Yuri,
I see no problems with it either - I like it too.

Also looks like a good one to me.

Here are some pics of mine to compare.

The reverse. This has a "2" stamped over the A mark.

Another one I have, also in zinc, has the double "A" and L64 markings.

This one, I'm showing also has the small "A" on the eagle.

This badge has some excellent detail around the 88mm gun base:

You can also see the circular catch base we want to see on zinkers:

Gorgeous badge

Nice badge, I think Assmann was the only one without the hole in the bottom by the gun base...I have an unmarked one.

I have a similar piece with the "A" on the wing.

Yuri´s has the second A on the eagle as well, I think I can see it on his pics. To my experience so far, they all do have it.
