Very good fake Naval Pilot's badge
I have... (what I believe to be ) unfortunately purchased an identical one not all so long back. The manufacturers name apears to be cast into the needle as oposed to stamped and it just does not feel right. Workmanship is top though.

Me, too
Yeah, I've got one in my shoebox of mistakes from some years ago. Does anyone have a nice clean close-up of SCHAPER stamped in the pin? What I want to know is, was SCHAPER whacked in before or after the gilding?
******CANCEL THAT REQUEST**************** I just found a salty old Schaper badge I forgot I had (a baaaad sign). The maker's mark is very crisply whacked in there. The difference is night and day. So take Wulffo's warning to heart. These Schapers that are turning up everywhere with the pretty fretted crown, are probably cast. Last edited by Aerowallah; 1 August 2005 at 05:39 PM. |
