Germany, Luftwaffe. A Pilot’s Badge, by an Unknown Maker
(Luftwaffe Oberst Kragenspiegel). Constructed of lemon-yellow wool, the obverse with twisted, flat, and rolled silver aluminum bullion wires in the shape of three vertically oriented gulls within an oak wreath, with additional embroidery to give the leaves definition, all four sides edged by twisted silver aluminum bullion braid, with a standard buckram core, an unworn example, in overall extremely fine condition.
