Hi Guys
Many may know about these, but I just recieved 2 German Pilots badges (repro naturally).
The metal one with rather bulky clip was purchased from e-bay server Liliyada.il in Israel, A$6.00 to ship. The fabric badges came from - realm-trading in New South Wales down here in OZ.
The extra propellar badge, which I think goes on the sleeve, was not advertised but appeared as part of the order. The quality of of the work with the silver thread is amazing. I hope this is of some interest.

Regards

Col

Those ARE pretty cool Col. Thanks for sharing! What a great prize something like that would make for an event!

Very nice! If I had them, I'd probably then want to get a 1:1 scale Siemens-Schuckert D.I to go with them.

excellent find , like the cowman says a great prize idea as well.

If you chaps are interested in obtaining any of this sort of replica item I will post up my list of contacts when I get home on Monday.

Yes Col has been "lusting" after a German Pilots badge ever since I sewed my RFC Wings on my Games Club Shirt.
We never imagined being able to source a beautifully Woven one from here in Aus.
As you can see it is really wonderfully done & Col will be proudly wearing it on HIS Club Shirt for next Games Night.

I hear that an Iron Cross may be coming from the Kaiser as well!
