Banak Pin

Hi Guys

I'm not sure if this qualifies for the thread but I picked this pin up a few years ago having recognised it as the shield of Banak in North Norway. I have not been able to directly link it to the certificates issued to Luftwaffe units stationed there but it seems a possibility. I attach a certificate to an Air Gunner from 5./KG 30 for reference.

An interesting thread!

Best wishes

Here's one for II./Lehrgeschwader 1 - the coat of arms for the city of Schwerin, the prewar garrison of this group.

...and quick scans (not de-screened) of the respective "award" certificate. The reverse gives the background to the badge and indicates that it should be worn on the right breast pocket.
