LW 'Fliegerschützenabzeichen mit Blitzbündel'

Description

Luftwaffe Air Gunner Badge with Lightning (Fliegerschützenabzeichen mit Blitzbündel). The Air Gunner Badge was introduced by 'Hermann Göring' on 26 March 1936 for award to radio operators, air gunners and mechanics who had met the required criteria. The Wireless Operator’s/Air Gunner’s badge was awarded on an individual basis and the main criteria for bestowal of the award was the completion of five operational flights over enemy territory or a minimum of two months active service. This is a very nice early tombak (Buntmetall) examplen. The badge has naturally a functional pin & catch construction. The badge shows great detail and a nice patina. The badge is nicely maker marked with the logo of the company of 'F.W. Assmann' from Lüdenscheid. Great and hard to find original badge in good used and worn condition!
