Identifying LW Badge Makers from Photos?

[dc9]

Hello All,

Found some really nice studio postcard photos at SOS and thought it would be fun to see if there is enough detail to determine the LW Badge makers (or even the EK1).

Thanks for indulging me.

Nice shots!
Photo 1.... I'd say J3
Photo 2....might be a Meybauer
Photo 3..... I'd vote J2.

1st one looks like a BSW to me.
2nd could be Meybauer.
3rd looks like a J2 Juncker.

Number 3 could be a Deumer as well....

No idea about picts 1 & 2 but IMO the Pilot badge shown in post 3 is definitely a J2 or a J2 parts badge as produced by Juncker, Deumer or JMME (except JMME usually has much lighter coloured eagles than Juncker & Deumer) also:

1) Right wing tip is very specific to J2 (& derived) pilot badges. True Deumer 2nd pattern and J3 badges have a much straighter cut right wing tip.

2) True Deumer 2nd pattern eagle head is larger and positioned closer to the dip in the wings than on its J2 (and derived products) equivalent which have a gap as the one shown in the pict

3) Swaz is usually fatter on J2 than D2 but eagles feet larger on J3 than either J2 or D2

Thanks, JC - your examples and explanations make it very clear!
