Opinions on observer badge and air to ground clasp

06-22-2015, 07:12 AM

These were in an auction a few days ago and I was wondering if the badges shown are good. At first glance they looked good to me but later on I started to have some doubts.
I think the bomber clasp and the iron cross are 100% good.

Hi Rik,

I think you are exactly right, Bomber clasp looks good, and the Czech Annexation also looks good IMO. The rest are fakes IMO, definitely bad Meybauer Observer and the Schlachtflieger is bad as well. Flak also looks bad.

The EK2 may be OK, but at a minimum has a resoldered ring on it. I would post that one separately in the Crosses forum.

If it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a little
