Cased Aluminium Assmann Pilot's Badge

[Neil Howes]

Just thought I would share the first Pilots Badge I have been able to obtain. It came as part of a Stuka Pilots Group.

Very nice - can you take a pic of the case opened, please? Just to see if there is something special

Hi Neil, very nice..... And a good start to your 'bird' collection.. Still waiting for my Assmann to arrive..

Beautiful badge Neil.

I suspect the reason for it being in such good condition is because of the broken catch? Would probably come off the tunic easily so maybe wasn't worn after the catch broke.

Thanks for showing...do you other badges in the grouping? Why not show it all in the collections forum?
