    FLIGHT BADGES

    CIVIL FLIGHT BADGES

  1. (F1174) A Civilian Glider Pilot's Badge being a button studded circular Badge with a blue paint
    finish with two white gulls. The badge is in near mint condition and is the grade B. Given to non military
    personnel, this changed and several military luftwaffe glider pilots were seen wearing this award often.

    GBP £ 20.00 (UK Pounds)

    		2.

  2. (F1175) A circular Badge being the grade C non powered Flight Badge showing three seagulls
    on a blue painted background. This is the higher grade for the Glider Pilots and although a
    civilian award, many military glider pilot's qualified for this award. This can be seen in
    several photographs of the time. In near mint.

    GBP £ 30.00 (UK Pounds)

    3. LUFTWAFFE PILOTS BADGES
    Instituted on 26th March 1936

    		(G55) A nice 2nd pattern Pilots badge by the well known maker BSW. This is stamped into the reverse of the eagle and the letters are within a clover leaf. The badge retains most of it's original plated finish and the reverse is starting to age bubble. The eagle has the slight fault with the top claw on the left of it's foot hitting the top left arm of the swastika. All in all, a very nice example.

    GBP £365.00 (UK Pounds)

    		 (G1343) A mid to late war Pilot's Badge being of nice quality and construction. The badge appears to be a Juncker/ JMME manufacture and has the features associated with this maker. The badge also was originally owned by a German Luftwaffe Pilot called Feldwebel Gerhard Dietrich-KG55. It comes with a guarantee from Detlev Niemann dated 2006. The badge is the one shown in the photograph and Niemann valued it then at 450 euros. This will be supplied with the badge.

    GBP £375.00 (UK Pounds)

LUFTWAFFE RETIRED PILOTS BADGE
Instituted on 26th March 1936

  • (F1234) A rare example of a Luftwaffe Retired Pilot's Badge. The award although unmarked, is probably a
    Deumer and shows the eagle sitting on a rock looking around. The badge retains a high proportion of it's silvered
    finish and is becoming an ever increasingly hard badge to find. With only two manufacturer's as far as I am aware,
    that made it, it can only get harder to acquire.

    GBP £950.00 (UK Pounds)

    • GLIDER PILOTS BADGE
    Instituted on 16th December 1940
    Picture

  • (E601) A Luftwaffe Glider Pilot badge being the type with a crimped ball hinge and hook and a
    needle pin. The badge is of Zinc construction but has all it's original
    silver plating and frosted highlights. The award is unmarked and the
    badge has a solid swastika. One person has stated this may be a Deschler
    2nd issue.

    GBP £800.00 (UK Pounds)

    		•  (G56) A nice example of an early war Glider Pilot's badge. The badge is unmarked but it could possibly be a Deumer. The badge has a nice silvered wreath over a zinc base metal and this has slightly bubbled. The ball hinge and hook are counter sunk into the back of the badge. The badge retains most of it's original finish with the blackened eagle showing nice detail and being tightly attached to the wreath. This is the type with the uncut out swastika.

    GBP £650.00 (UK Pounds)

    RADIO OPPERATOR/FLIGHT ENGINENEER BADGES
    Instituted on 26th March 1936

  • (D344) An Other Ranks Cotton on cloth Luftwaffe Radio Opperator/Air Gunners
    The badge is in good used condition and taken from a tunic

    GBP £ 40.00 (UK Pounds)

    • AIR GUNNER/FLIGHT ENGINENEER BADGES
    Instituted on 22nd June 1942

  • (F681) A mid to late war example of a scarce Air Gunners Award for the qualified Air Gunner,
    being the type with the silver wreath and blackened eagle. The badge has the maker's trade mark of
    "C E Juncker Berlin SW 68" in two lines stamped to the reverse. The badge is made of mixed
    metal alloys. Nice quality pin, hinge and hook. The badge retains approximately 75% of it's original
    finish. Scarce to find.

    GBP £350.00 (UK Pounds)

    		•

  • (G505) An Air Gunner's/Radio Operator's Badge being a mid war example with a zinc wreath and quality silver plated eagle. The badge shows excessive use with a bend in the wreath that looks like the badge has taken a blow with the eagle being pushed in. The rivets are still intact and the badge is still tight to the eagle. The badge is maker marked to the reverse JMME & SOHN BERLIN. There is also some paint scratching of the initials EG to the reverse.

    GBP £250.00 (UK Pounds)

    • FLIGHT CLASPS
    Instituted in three types on 30th January 1941 for Fighters, Bombers and Reconnaissance

  • (E522) A late war bronze Fighter Clasp that has seen better days. The clasp has had
    a few knocks and bashes to the swastika as can be seen from the scan. The wreath to this
    has been blackened for the grade of a night fighter. The arrow is held on by a single tiny rivet.
    In vgc.

    GBP £250.00 (UK Pounds)

    		•

  • (E523) A silver Luftwaffe Reconnaissance clasp with a blackened eagle attached
    to the badge by a single rivet. The badge has the maker stamp of BSW into the back
    of the badge. The badge also has the swastika not very well formed although this is how
    the badge was manufactured and appears to be a fault with the manufacturing as the plating
    etc is all intact. Otherwise in vgc.

    GBP £250.00 (UK Pounds)

    		•

  • (E540) A nice early issue bronze Bomber Clasp. The clasp was given to an American
    Serviceman by the Luftwaffe owner and the bar has been used and worn in service as can
    be seen from the scan. The bar has a little bomb held on by a single rivet and is unmarked.
    The bronzing is approximately 90% intact.

    GBP £200.00 (UK Pounds)

    		•

  • (E541) An early maker marked bronze Reconnaissance clasp. The clasp has been in contact
    with an aluminium Pilot's badge and as such has some minor corrosion taken place on the reverse,
    which has partially obscured the maker's name although it can still be read, which is JMME
    & SOHN     . The clasp has a nice silver eagle rivetted to the badge and apart from the minor
    corrosion to the back, the fron is very nice.

    GBP £225.00 (UK Pounds)

    		•

  • (F1160) A late war unmarked Air to Ground Combat Clasp in gilt. The clasp is manufactured from base
    zinc with a gilt wash applied. This has faded in places to leave the bare base zinc metal. The swords on
    this example are held on by a single flattened rivet and the style of the clasp is the central cross style
    that was bought in for economy. There is a nice quality pin and hook soldered to the reverse of the badge.
    The swords are also of nice quality and appear to be a non magnetic brass. All in all, nice order and a
    scarce clasp to acquire. A bargain at

    GPB £350.00 (UK Pounds)

    		•

  • (F1161) A late war gilt example of a Luftwaffe Bomber Clasp by the maker F &BL and marked as such
    to the reverse on the righthand side in raised lettering. The clasp has a magnetic pin which has rusted
    in a few places and also has magnetic blackened bomb held to the centre of the clasp by a single rivet
    . The badge is of nice quality and die striking.

    GBP £200.00 (UK Pounds)

    		•  (F1095) An early quality bronze Reconnaissance Clasp being of nice manufacture. The clasp has a separately applied bronzed eagle held to the badge by a single rivet. The pin is a nice broad bladed one with a nice slim hinge. The hook is actually soldered in an upside down position for this badge and appears to have been done that way, manufactured and supplied like it. There are two nicely cut outs to the oval and the badge is nicely fretted. Very nice quality.

    GBP £250.00 (UK Pounds)

    		 (G823) A relic metal detector find of a German gilt Gold Bomber Bar. The award shows a very hard life with the pin showing lots of rust, the hook being bent over and the bomb which is separatel riveted to the bar, split. The bar is also slightly twisted but surprisingly not broken. The hinge works so that the pin has free movement. There is some minor oxidisation and discolouration throughout, which is to be expected. Recovered from a farm in Norfolk, I don't know anything else about it. GBP £100.00

    GBP £100.00 (UK Pounds)

    		 (G958) A Bronze early metal Luftwaffe Reconnaissance Clasp in reasonable condition although the over eagle appears never to have been affixed to the badge. The badge has a nice quality pin, hinge and hook separately soldered to the reverse. Unmarked and believed to have been an Ersatz issue or a battle relic find.

    GBP £75.00 (UK Pounds)
