Fliegerabzeichen
This is outside of my Focus and i wonder if this one is real?
Some more:
It's no good; this is simply not the quality of period hand embroidery. Notice how uneven and asymmetrical everything is.
Also, have a look at this thread:
SA/SS pilots wings SS Fliegersturm
It's a long read, but well worth it. From the evidence presented there, it seems pretty certain that the alleged "combined SA/SS" pilot wings in fact never existed, that this badge was solely worn by the SS and that it had the SS runes on both sides.
As is 110% the case, I agree with Andreas. This item is not even a well-rendered example of embroidery in a fake.
The item was surely worn, as this image indicates, but I am certain that what you have is reverse engineered from Mollo or the corrupt army officer's book.
Get out your ouija board and ask den dicken Hermann what the deal was....
Many thanks for your help. I have never seen a real one and at first i was not able to locate this old thread. A great useful topic with rare Pictures of this badge in wear! Again many thanks!
We all rely on Andreas. He has a photographic memory and knows where everything is. There is a lot of fine things to be had here, but my mindby MM1985
is giving out and I cannot recall. Mr. Mint found the image of the SS Flieger with the badge and Goering, as I recall. I kept the image for the man's cap, but there you are....
We hava good cadre of solid persons here who serve the needs of many. Good luck with your collecting.
