I picked this Ground Combat Badge up at a local show the weekend and wanted show it for comment and to see if any one has seen one like it before.
It is a silver plated zinc badge with tombac eagle.

Dimensions
Wreath 56.8 mm x 43.0 mm wide
Wing span eagle 41.5 mm
Weight 22.15 grams
Hinge block is very similar in profile to the type found on the Deumer 1st class spang and is soldered to an oval plate 10 x 5 mm

Hi Peter,

Looks very believable to me and the set-up match with Roman's Glider as refered to by Frank is very interesting.

If possible please post some bigger pics of it. Would be interesting to see if we can match the eagle to known makers of LGAB's.
