    I have never seen one in any collection. The only one I ever saw on the market was the one that Detlev Niemann offered about six months ago. I would have boought it, but it had enamel repair on one of the gulls. Detlev had it listed for several weeks and I don't know if it ever sold.

      NSFK grosse Segelfliegerabzeichen

      Hello,


      Thanks Ken for the answer , i have been browsing trough Detlev's catalogue and the badge is not there anymore.

      Are there any such badges in private collections ? or the award documents as this one ? , they are quite rare but there have to be some collectors out there ?

        You might consider sending a msg to Sabina (sk@detlev-niemann.de) and asking her if the NSFK badge is still available, but not listed.

                excellent ; NSFK glider badges

                Hello Chris,


                Excellent => this is the info that i was looking for , very nice badge + quite a early number ( OHHHH I like it ) => what is the metal used for the badge ? do you also have the matching award document ? , etc ...

                You state :
                There sould be NO variations.
                , on what do you base this ? , i have seen 2 types untill now , for example the type you show here ( with recipients number ) and a more crude made type without any number ( and a round needle => it should be a so called private purchase piece ???????? , offcoarse this is dangerous because we know in most cases what private purchase means )
                Do you have any sources for this statement ? , etc ... anything that you can tell me about this is very important .

                Im in a phase of putting togheter award lists ( a hell of a work and advancing very slowly ) and therefore those numbers and names are very important for me .

                Do you also know if this badge was intered in the personal papers ( such as Soldbuch, Wehrpass, etc .. ) i assume yes but i have never encountered one

                  I believe that Chris is correct. There shoud always be an issue number on this badge. I would shy away from any that do not have the number. I also believe that these badges were made from zinc as they were instituted in 1942.

                        Hello,


                        Thanks Skip for sharing => very very nice , i love it actually

                        Do you have a clue on who was the owner of your NSFK large glider badge ?

                        I also like the Silver C very much + it is a quite hard to find set , especially the hand embroyed one !!!!!! , very interesting ( iff you are ever tired of one of those beauty's let me know )

                          Hi Stign,

                          the owner of the large badge is the same guy as on the doc., I got these togeather with his Pilots Badge (early BSW) and his bronze night fighter clasp ( unmarked).
                          This guy served with Udet and had something to do with the Air Ministry, this is him on the left, togeather with some fat guy!!,

                            Here´s the results of some reseach I did, was´nt much to find out, the rest was probably destroyed.
                            I actually parted with all of this some months ago as it is not really my area of interest, I only kept the pilots badge.Sorry if I had known about this place earlier I would have offered it to you.

                              thanks

                              Hello Skip,


                              Thanks for posting the additional information => it will come in handy ( to bad for me you parted with this grouping as im in love with this stuff )

                              I have a list of all the awarded Silver C badges ( received from one of my Glider friends ) during period 1931 & 1943 and it is correct that nr. 439 ( the one you show ) is indeed for mr. G.Sachsenberg , Dessau => awarded on 12.08.1937

                              is can see that Silver C metal badge has another mark , is that the producers marking ? => if yes who was the producer ?

                              Are there other persons who have this large NSFK glider pilots badge in their collection ?

                              Thanks once again for sharing,
