Hello everybody,

Hey guys

Is the hardware setup on these indicative of zimermann?
I have a BWB with exactly the same hardware setup but unmarked and have been trying to find a maker

Jono,

Not necessarily, Foerster & Barth (L/21) BWBs have a very similar setup.

Stephen,

Thanks Neil.
I didn't even know that this kind of bwb was uncommon at all. The funny thing is the seller said it was unmarked but when I opened the pin I saw a pleasant surprise.

Regards,

Now thats a deal Hows the paint.Picture makes it look a bit new.
Note to new collector.....A badge should smell old if you smell it.
You should not smell paint.

Hello Don,

Sorry about the bad photos but maybe these photos will show the condition of the badge better. There is paint lost around the top of the badge on the front and there is rust around the hinge and the catch on the rear. Also I cannot smell paint when I sniff the badge. Is there any concerns about this badge?

Regards,
Stephen

Not for me...At first I thought a repaint from the first picture.
Sometimes lighting makes them glossy to me.

The paint looks fine to me.

Very nice find Stephen, a rare WB by this maker.
For the record another hardware set up with different marking location exist.

i don't have problem with the paint.
