Padded Cloth Observer Badge

[Ron Weinand]

In a grouping of Luftwaffe items, I got some padded Luftwaffe Badges that I don't collect. As I am not an expert in these, I thought I would post them here before listing them in eStand for comments:

There is some light mothing to the background dark gray nap, but otherwise it appears unissued.

Agreed on being good pieces. Personally, I only go after the padded cloth badges as they have much more eye appeal. The other thing these have going for them is 3 different colored threads were used as opposed to those plain-jane monochromatic versions.

PS I'm looking for a nice padded P/O cloth badge so let me know if you have one!
