This is a stunning original Imperial World War 1 Pilots Badge (Militär-Flugzeugführerabzeichen). The Imperial Pilot's badge was originally introduced on 27 january 1913 by 'Kaiser Wilhelm'. All pilots, regardless of rank, were eligible. This badge is a nice wartime period issued example made of hollow tombac (Buntmetall). The badge is not visible maker marked but can very likely be attributed to the company of 'C.E. Juncker' from Berlin. The badge shows very nice & pronounced detail overall and still retains a nice silver finish. The badge has naturally a functional pin & catch construction. Desirable original imperial pilot's badge in very good condition!
