'Deumer' type case for the LW Air Gunner Badge
'Deumer' type case for the Luftwaffe Air Gunner Badge with Lightning (Schachtel zum 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 typical 'Deumer' type case. The case is in good condition with some normal usage to the corners. On top of the case is stenciled in gilt print the script: "Luftwaffen-Fliegerschützen-Abzeichen". Hard to find original case in very good condition!
