Pilots badge OM

[maxft82]

I have got a beautiful Pilots badge yesterday.

The marker is OM.

What are your opinions, why is so little known over this marker?

Best regards

Hallo Michael,

Willkommen!

OM pilots are quite rare and the maker is still unknown.
To post pictures you have to be an Association member or you can include links to a picture website in your posts.

Cheers,

Frank

Hello Frank,

danke für deine Antwort.

I know the marker OM is unknown.

But this is it what confuses me.

Why are to this day known of this manufacturer only Pilots badge?
It must give files someplace anyway, this marker appears in which . (name, production place etc. )

The production of these pieces is of the quality particularly highly.

Best regards

Wilkommen Michael,

On the association pages are also pictures of OM IABs. Can´t say that I have ever seen one in the flesh but I sure would like to.

Hallo Michael,

Actually more badges bearing the OM maker mark have been found. I am at least aware of a Infantry Assault Badge with that mark.

Many thanks skip and Frank.

This is interesting. I thought this gave it only to Pilots badges of OM till now.

Followingly reconciles pictures of my new OM.

I have had the piece without needle once, too.

But unfortunately, sell again.

Best regards

I once owned one of these 'OM' badges and was happy with it until I discovered that I could bend the eagle with fairly limited finger pressure.

Hello Robin

Either you are Hulk or weren't correct with your piece a little.

I was just at the cupboard. Nothing bends at mine.

Looks like you were unlucky, Robin.. Like everything else, they have been copied.
I've owned 3 of these and have never been able to bend anything..

Nice badge. I have owned 2 but only own 1 for now. Can you post a picture of the reverse?

Hello Gary

I have adjusted top view and reverse of the two badges.

Can't you see the pictures?

Best regards
