Pilot badge of Oekenpöhler

[Thomas H]

Hi all,

On behave of member Rob Miller I start this thread to show the Pilot badge he owns of Knight’s Cross holder Oekenpöhler. I will let Rob do the further talking.

Thank you Thomas!

This badge has been posted before but seems timely with the discussion on his goblet re-surfacing,to post it again.As stated before I purchased this off a Militaria dealer in NZ a number of years ago and with help of the forum,learned that it once belonged to a RK recipient.Anyway,it is what it is with an obvious field repair and missing the lower catch.I know a lot of collectors are not into worn examples such as this and may well dismiss it as almost just a curiosity,but for me this is what collecting is all about.Regards Rob Miller. (maybe time for me to take some decent pics too)
