I wish to recommend Imperial German Flight Badges , Vol 1, by Robert Pandis.
This first volume comprises 174 pages, printed on glossy, high-quality stock and around 500 photos.
I recall some years ago trying to acquire an original Prussian observer badge and being overwhelmed by the number of good fakes on dealer sites. They far exceeded the supply of original pieces. I was fortunate enough to be able to contact Rob Pandis who steered me in the right direction.
I think that reading this excellent reference may encourage a new collecting obsession.
I ordered mine from Bender Publications, costing $75.
