Unidentified Flying Badge!?! Please Help!

[James Noble]

Here's two more pictures showing this badge being worn along with the badge I have.

[Henri S]

These badges are sold for 135€ on Kai Winkler's site

Her is mine to compare. If I remeber correctly, there was also discussion (sp) about the number of digits in the seriel number with regards to autenticity as well. Robert

[burgerhaus]

The reverse. Have a good day everybody.

[TobyR]

I too now have a photo showing the badge in wear. No longer have an example of the badge though!

Not quite as clear as the other images but certainly the badge in question.

All the best,
Toby.

i have seen these being worn by women in war photo s , so they did exist i have seen many variations and i m sure most are fake

[James Noble]

From what I have read the only maker of these badges was J. Preissler, Pforzheim and they all were serialized but no higher then five digits. I like these new period pictures thanks for posting.

I agree with James Comment above, I would not want one that does not conform to the above criteria in my collection.

Mike i think your badge is fake , i ve seen these coming from a well known fake source in Austria, the other variation is same markings but well known clipped pin holder cheers Terry

[oli4vercammen]

mm ES real or not?

what about this pin for sale at Weitzes'? it is maker marked ES and has a number 105011.
Kai Winkler has the same but number 105137.

It's another of the "which side of the fence do you sit" scenarios. Some collectors believe these 6 digit numbers & other makers are OK, others don't........

With these type of things you have to make your own judgement.......
