WH (Luftwaffe) 'Flugzeug-Beobachter-Abzeichen' (ie. observers'-war-badge) being a neatly maker- (ie. 'PM'- ie. 'Paul Meybauer'-) marked and/or: typical zinc- ie. 'Feinzink'-based example

The attractive - and I deem somewhat later-war-period and actually scarcely encountered! - very detailed WH (Luftwaffe) 'Flugzeug-Beobachter-Abzeichen' (or: observers'-war-badge) on offer here has been only moderately worn and comes naturally mounted onto its fully functional (and fully unaltered!) pin- and/or functional typical catch (ie. catch set-up). The award shows a 'separately'- (and/or very detailed!) silverish-grey-coloured eagle-device attached (by means of two firmly attached, silver-toned rivets as is visible on its back). The badge truly retains a fair bit of its period finish but does show a minimally tarnished- (ie. typical 'Feinzink'-like-) age-patina as is more often encountered on these later-war-period produced Luftwaffe-war-badges. The badge shows a clear makers'-designation on its back (that reads: 'PM' as can be seen on the pictures) and is thus in all respects an example that can be attributed to the desirable maker: 'Paul Meybauer': the award shows naturally all the specific details as known for a badge by this particular maker. The piece is still somewhat stained ie. dirty but has - I deem - never been cleaned nor polished: the greyish-silver-coloured wreath and/or somewhat darker-toned eagle-device both retain a very nice albeit minimally tarnished appearance and have both lost some of their period finish (as can be seen on the pictures). It should be noted that these attractive and later-war-period: 'Flugzeug-Beobachter-Abzeichen' as produced by the 'Paul Maybauer'-company can easily be graded: 'scarce'. I deem that I have priced this later-war-period example absolutely fairly: I have seen similar examples being offered for much more than my asking-price!
