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 LW personnel who completed the theory and training and achieved their military pilot’s licence. This badge is an early war period tombak (Buntmetall) example. The badge is not visible maker marked but can be attributed to production by the company 'Assmann & Sohn' from Lüdenscheid. The badge has naturally a functional pin & catch construction. The badge is in good used and worn condition having a nice patina. Nice original badge!
