Army Flak Badge (Flakkampfabzeichen des Heeres). The Heeres-Flakabzeichen was instituted by the OKH (Oberkommandos des Heeres) on 18 July 1941. The badge was designed by the firm of Ernst Wilhelm Peekhaus of Berlin. Members of flak batteries, sound-locator crews, and searchlight crews in a support role were qualified to earn the award. The badge is not visible maker marked but can be attributed to production by the company of 'Förster & Barth' from Pforzheim. The pin and catch are complete and functional. Nice and scarce original example in good condition!
