Enamel Badge for the flugmeldedienst

[Jo Rivett]

Yes it does look like a used original.
These have been faked a plenty. The accepted originals were made by Preissler, as the first image shows here, followed by two reproductions also showing the same makers details. I have never owned an ES marked badge before, and apart from Ersatzstück (replacemnet piece) i cant think what else ES could mean. the last image with the OS logo is also a post war repro.
These would make a study-subject on their own.

Thanks for the info Jo. Was not aware they were faking them with the proper makers name.
