Luftwaffe Air Gunner Badge - is it real?

[John W. Krueger]

I would sincerely appreciate any opinions as to the authenticity of this Luftwaffe Air Gunner/Radio Operator badge by Deumer. Thanks.

Looks like a nice late war example. I have it's "near" twin (Deumer door gunner), that appears to be nearly identical as regards construction and finish, that came directly from a vet grouping...I'm sure the Luft badge experts will chime in soon enough, though. Here's a quick obverse shot of mine for comparison's sake. The beak detail seems a bit different, but otherwise, pretty close....

Looks like a good one to me as well

Hi John,

As the guys have said, a fine original Deumer zinker with not much finish remaining. Eagle looks like it might be loose as well.
