1957er Flugzeugführerabzeichen

Here is my most recent acquisition, a 1957 model Flugzeugführerabzeichen [Pilot's Badge], incidentally my first purchase of a Luftwaffe-related badge.

I really like this one; it's a well-made early piece with good details and a closed hingeblock.

As always, all comments are welcome.

Great quality badge Andreas!

A S&L made piece, notice the flaw on the left wing near the tip.

Regards

Nice one Andreas ! as Nick states a St u L made piece, not the earliest, it uses the first type taper pin, from around 1960 on.....
Prost ! Steve.

You are welcome Andreas ! still an early desirable badge to 57er collectors....here is my early, 1957-60 made version, with unflawed wing.......for comparison on rear hinge/pin and catch.
Prost ! Steve.
