A German Second World War Luftwaffe Pilot Observer’s Badge.
A fabulous example of the non maker marked Pilot Observer’s Badge, although unmarked these badges are generally observed to have been manufactured by the Company of F.L & L. Good gilt to the oak and laurel leaf wreath with frosted highlights. Good patination to the Luftwaffe pilot style eagle with its original two flat rivets and unique type hinge, hook and pin all original to the award,
extremely good condition £1,400-£1,800

Sold with a Detlev Niemann certificate of authenticity, which is priced in 2,000 German Marks, thus dating the supplier of this award prior to the introduction of the Euro in 2001.
