Pilot-Observer Badge with Diamonds today

A fine photo with Pilot-Observer Badge with Diamonds from great Luftwaffe pour le merite ace and knights cross winner General Lörzer .

Excellent photo Frank!! I had never seen it before! I'll try to "clean" the watermarks, so we can get a better looking badge for the database.

Thanks a lot

Regards,
Sepp.

I also always found it kind of funny, the way Antonescu carried his badge Up and down... I guess he didn't care that much

Hello Tom,

looking at post number 92 Peltz's awards, there appears to be a tag at the rear of the blue "Diamonds PO" case that the case itself is sitting on

Also the EK's on the top and bottom shelves appear to have tags as do the Oakleaves in their case at the rear of the lower shelf.

To my eye it is just not the RK that only has a tag. The cased pilot badge and cased gold bomber clasp might also be sitting on top of tags ?

Thanks Chris, I think you are right I see some other tags but not on the DK or the Diamonds PO. There might be a tag behind the stand of the Diamonds PO, hard to be sure but I think I see the corner of a white card back there.

Hi to all!

My friend Tim Calvert send me these photos of Ion Antonescu's badge sold at Weitze website in the year 2005. If anyone has better photos (without the watermarks), please add them here.

In any case, I thank Tim for the help.

And.. to complete the set , another photo of Antonescu with the diamonds. Also note the Order of Michael the Brave, First and Third class on his tunic.

A really strange piece, sold at HH, that once belonged to Göring. Is a Pilot's badge with diamonds, but inserted on a case.

A better photo of the badge.

Generaloberst Kurt Student, awarded the Pilots badge with Diamonds on September 2nd, 1941.

Here it can be seen on his tunic, after the ceremony where he got the KC.

...the position of the PO on the uniform is also contra regulations.

Generaloberst Otto Deßloch

I found this photo on the forum, of Deßloch's denazified version. It belogs to WAF member Bob Hirtz.

Vlado Kren and Miroslav Navratil

The only photos I found...1941.

Can anybody comment?

[Mark Costa]

This photo of the newspaper has confirmed my research on the AHF. I have long suspected that Kren was awarded the Diamond Badge. Navratil was already on my list that you can find on that site. With Kren's confirmation he is the 85th confirmed recipient of the diamond badge.

Could this be Galland's PO badge with diamonds? A small photo at the bottom, but it says it is.
