5/5/23 – This is an excellent condition WW2 Luftwaffe Pilot Observer badge with an original case. The badge is 2 piece construction with a silver eagle and gold wreath. The award is completely non-magnetic tombac and weighs 44 grams. The wreath is in minty condition with shiny high edges and sides, while the flatter, sunken areas of the oak leaves are matte. The eagle has considerably more surface patina, and dark discoloration on the wings and eagle body. There is still evidence of the original white frosted finish throughout the eagle, however. Excellent detail throughout. The swastika is missing most of the finish on the front-facing side, leaving a shiny color visible underneath. The original finish is still visible on the sides and edges of the swastika. The reverse has excellent matte finish throughout, and a crisply struck GWL maker marking. The hinge is original and functional with no issues. Comes with an original, excellent condition case. A very rare award in extremely well-preserved condition. Worn by Luftwaffe Pilots who qualified for both the Pilot’s badge and the Observer Badge.
