This is a stunning original WH (Luftwaffe) 'Flugzeugführerabzeichen' (Pilots Badge). The Pilot's badge was originally introduced in january 1935 as an DLV (Deutsche Luftsport Verband) award, the Luftwaffe officially adopted the award on 26 march 1936 by order of 'Hermann Göring'. The badge was awarded to Luftwaffe personnel who completed the theory and training and achieved their military pilot’s licence. This badge is a very nice early 'Buntmetall' (tombac) piece, it's nicely maker marked by the company of 'F.W. Assmann' from Lüdenscheid. The badge has naturally a functional pin & catch construction. The badge shows great finish and stunning details, the badge really is in outstanding condition showing nicely polished highlights. Desirable original pilot's badge in very good condition!
