Commemoration?

[Gary B]

I have the following engraved on a badge....

Schmalschläger s.l Hörmann z. Erg. an den verhängnisvollen Flug 16 x 16

My poor translation indicates it is to remember some sort of fateful flight. What is the s.l and z. Erg stand for?

I have found 2 Schmalschläger and 2 Hörmann but can not link the 2 (if in fact I have the correct people)

Thanks in advance.

on what sort of badge?

[Gerdan]

I think

"s. l. " means "seinem lieben" - to his dear friend (a dedication)

"z. Erg." - zur Erinnerung - reminder

Gerdan, thanks for taking the time to translate. Much appreciated.
