Just trying to learn something here.

Fliegertechnisches Personal = Flight tech. This I believe is the second pattern circa 1935-1945. NH

Hello,

Just don't take my word for it. Study it. Look at the construction. Look at the materials used. This example has the pistons highlighted by being and stitched. A very nice variation.

^Your word is backed up by experience. And yes, the details in this example are excellent. I have several examples in my collection. On a general note for LW insignia, there is often depth in the stitching as noted and in some examples two shades of thread making a subtle effect. I have seen the shading most notably in Adlers. NH
