Wonderful collection Frank,

I'm certain some of your badges used to be in my collection. Since selling all of my flaks I've seen many of them pop up on the estand periodically.

[fdodge]

Yes Robert, some of these used to be yours.

The ball hinges are my favorite. They just seem nicer quality pieces.

I'm with you on that. The early Assman is a nice badge too, and my second favorite. It is quite thick and heavy, but the Assman eagle doesn't look as good to me as the unknown maker's. I prefer the delicate details and the unique hardware.
I'll always have an affinity for the ball hinge flak anyway. She was my first war badge. Kinda like your first girlfriend........

Super nice flak collection Frank, first time I saw this thread. I'm a Brehmer fan in addition to the ball-hinge

I'm a big fan of the rivets on the S&L's.

What an awesome badge; love the patina on that one.

Thanks, William.

Apparently the blackening is a deliberate manufacturing process to enhance the details.

I can't believe that the Juncker flaks get more votes than the Brehmers and the ball hinge Gablonzers
Juncker was a prolific maker and a mass producer, and a maker of more "Monday morning" badges than anyone else IMO. Sure, a good looking eagle's face, but it's only a face. You gotta look at the details!
Remember that when looking for a woman

For me it's Juncker every time now that I have one of my own and have had a good look at it.

the eagles face shows gritty determination: no harmless looking parrot on a juncker, unlike some of the eagles on other flaks

as for the analogy about women: id much prefer a pretty face than a toothless hag i don't care what the details are..
