    Luftwaffe? Air Factory Protection Pin help Please

    Guys,
    I just posted this in the political section just to cover all the bases. I just recently aquired this pin and know next to nothing about it except it might be an factory protection pin worn by civilians working for the luftwaffe. It is number stamped on the back and the 2 letters on the front are W L. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

      Hi Chris - found it in the Heering-Huesken catalogue of pins (Kleinabzeichen) - page 186 (picture page 188) 9718a Abzeichen fuer Werkluftschutzleiter and it looks like you are on the right track. As far as I know that would be factory air defence leader.

        Hello Chris,

        Holger is correct (Hüsken). Pin of the Werkluftschutz. Here are images of my badge. Identical in yours but a little better preserved.

        Cordial greetings.

          Comparison with a badge in tissue for the same organization.
