    Unknown award in bullion

    Hi Guys

    this one came in with a couple of bullion flight badges and other period Luft insignia. I have no doubt it is a period item but I have not seen it before- it appears to have been backed to wear as a badge- there is a slit to the reverse which may have had a pin mounting originally.

    It is larger than a glider qualification badge, some kind of DLV award?

    Many thanks for any info!

    Best regards

      It sort of looks like the Silver C award except with only one gull and the addition of a swastika.

          thanks Guys, it's a good bit larger than the normal A-C glider awards.

          A couple of people have mentioned that a similar badge is shown on page 420 of Angolia's Uniforms of the NSKK and NSFK- described as unidentified.

          Perhaps if someone has a copy of that book they would be kind enough to post a shot of the image as unfortunately I don't own the book

          many thanks

              Hi Jos

              Bingo!! There it is - that’s a great photo thanks for posting it

              So a HJ helper attached to the LW? Is that a breast eagle on his arm above the band??!

                I think Jos found it.....now what the heck is it? I agree he is a member of the HJ.

                Where did you find the picture, Jos? Is there a caption with it?
