Hello all,
Just wanted to confirm that this badge is authentic, it looks like a perfectly good and textbook early issue Brehmer flak to me.

A lovely early N/S Brehmer Luft Flak badge, nice one William.
Regards, Ned.

Top notch Brehmer, no issues...
Hello again,
I actually believe this is a more scarce tombak example as I see hints of brass coloration in the base metal; a neusilber base would not possess this trait. At any rate, a fine badge I believe!

Hi William,
I would agree with Ned here, imo a NS example. The usual formulation of NS is 60% copper, 20% nickel and 20% zinc, so based on the alloy mixture you can sometimes see the discoloration you mentioned.
a lovely example.
My first thoughts were tombak, I must admit. Nice badge either way. Stewy
Hi, looks a beauty to me as well, lovely crisp details. Leon.
