A WWII Nazi Germany German Luftwaffe Pilots Badge. The badge was introduced in the Late Summer or Early Fall of 1935 by Hermann Goring of the Third Reich I believe. This particular badge is an original and not a reproduction and came from an estate of a 90 year old gentleman who served in Europe during WWII in the United States Army and had other authentic items found on this website.

The pilots badge has an Eagle holding a Swastika in its claws in flight with its wings spread out over the edges of the wreath. The wreath has two different style leaves on it including Oak leaves.

The badge were made of many different types of materials, including Aluminum, Tombak, Alloy, zinc and other materials, I dont know what type material this particular badge is made from.

There were many different makers of the badges like the other German WWII Military badges including: C E Juncker, IMME, Wilhelm Deumer, Assmann and Sohn, Gebruder Wegerhoff Ludenscheid, BSW or Gebruder Schneider Wein, there was OM and others and some werent marked by a maker. This particular badge is unmarked, I cant see anything for a maker on it at all.

The badge was worn on the uniform left side upper pocket and pilots who completed their pilots training received them.

This badge appears to be in decent shape, but I'm not a grader, it does have age discoloration in spots and I'll leave it to the experts to clean it up it possible, so I dont cause any damage to it. The hinges for the pin work fine, and the pin moves with ease. Please see the images for overall condition.
