Pilot´s badge BSW 2nd type

[JackHun]

If I´ve done my research correctly this should be a "2nd type" BSW.

Opinions highly appreciated.

Cheers,

Jack

Good one but with repaired rivet imo

Jack, looks good, and as Alex mentions, an altered rivet.
I would like to see straight on photos of your badges, front and back, along with the angled shots.

To shed some more light into this issue I´ve made some more photos of the rivets - comments highly appreciated! Most interesting how the rivets differ between the different manufacturers.

Cheers, Jack

I tried some magnification too, a bit tricky though...

Hi Jack,
The revits do look a bit "funny" to me when I compare them to other later BSW PB's. To me, at least, the look a bit played with??

Thanks Greg,

found this one a reference, looks similar, but maybe a bit rounder rivet heads.

The badge looks & feels nice although I don´t have another BSW to compare with.

I believe that the rivets have simply been tightened at one point. Thus the flatter appearance.

Hi Jack

The rivets do look a bit different but that wouldn't bother me. The rest of the badge looks spot on. Very nice.

Hi Jack,
The revits are the correct construction just could have been tightened a bit. Overall a very nice PB!
