Imperial Badges

[sodak222]

I have had these 2 badges for quite a few years and forgot about them till I was digging in my stuff! Can anybody tell if these are original or not? The larger badge is marked 800 but is hard to see and also has something stamped on it that looks like maybe a makers mark but is very small. I will see if I can get a picture of it through a magnifier.

Here is the best my camera will do on the marking on the back of the large badge.

Rod,
Imperial flight badges are way out of my field of expertise. I can tell you
that the makers mark on the sone cross is that of Paul Meybauer of Berlin.

Hopefully someone will have an answer for you.

Thanks for the heads up on the makers mark Greg. Never had any idea who the maker was?

The first one is definately not good. The second badge while being of better quality does not conform to a Meybauer piece. Sorry for the bad news.

Thanks for the info Don. Never did know if they were good or not and really didn't care because imperial items are not my ball of wax!
