WH (Luftwaffe) 'Flugzeugführerabzeichen in Stoff' or: pilots'-badge) that is nicely machine-embroidered and being of the so-called: 'padded version'

This a truly very attractive - and actually not that easily ie. scarcely encountered! - 'Flugzeugführerabzeichen in Stoff' or: pilots'-badge) that is neatly machine-embroidered in multi-coloured- (and typical linnen-based-) thread and being of the neat, so-called: 'off-factory'-'padded version' and that comes in an overall very nice- (I deem issued and carefully tunic-removed-), condition. This particular example has great pronounced detail and is made more 'thicker' by the producing-company in order to closely resemble its metal-based counterparts. The piece is nicely 'backed' with black-coloured material as is more often encountered (which 'backing' is completely present as can be seen on the pictures). The badge just shows some age and/or staining simply caused by moderate wear and/or decades of storage (it still shows some of the stitching-remains with which it was once tunic-attached). These detailed cloth-based versions were preferred by the soldiers, NCOs and/or officers 'stationed in the field' for obvious reasons. Simply an attractive and fully 'text-book' example of a WH (Luftwaffe) 'Flugzeugführerabzeichen in Stoff' that will be very hard to be upgraded and that is I deem accordingly priced!
