SS-SA Flying Badge

[mikemichalak]

I have a SA- und SS-Fliegerstürme um 1933. I am not a collector and this belonged to my great uncle. I am looking to obtain some information, the value and alert prospective buyers. The badge can be seen in this link:

http://www.military-awards.eu/german...ian-awards.htm

It is located around 4/5ths down the page and labeled SS - SA Pilots Badge.

As I stated I am not a collector and those collectors I have been in contact with were not very familiar with the piece. It appears to have had a short issue period and is rare. Any help would be appreciated.

Yep not much on it in English, that I know of. I always though it was a fantasy piece myself but supposedly it was produced and worn for a very short time in the early 30s.

Would love to see a period photo of one in wear.

I thought a fantasy piece too, the wings look a lot like a set of American wings..
but if that information link is right, hmm.. neat piece.

Mine is the same pin with the same name on the back. The front of mine is in a bit better shape. Thanks for sharing.
