Attractive, WH (Luftwaffe) 'Flugzeugführer-Abzeichen' (or: pilots'-badge) being a mid-war-period- and neatly 'Buntmetall'-based (albeit non-maker-marked) example as was produced by the: 'Friedrich Linden'- (ie. 'FLL'-) company

This is a truly attractive - and I deem typical mid-war-period - neatly 'Buntmetall'-based example of a (typical non-maker-marked) so-called: WH (Luftwaffe) 'Flugzeugführer-Abzeichen' (or: pilots'-badge) being an example as was with certainty produced by the: 'Friedrich Linden'- (ie. 'FLL'-) company and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit issued- and/or just minimally worn-), condition. The neat badge - which has I deem only mimimally been used - comes naturally mounted onto its functional pin- and original (ie. fully unaltered-) catch (-set-up) and/or typical 'block-hinge' pin-set-up (as can be seen on the pictures). Moreover, does it retains both its nicely preserved (and totally unaltered) rivets (as can be seen on the pictures). This example has a greyish-silver-coloured- and separately-attached 'eagle-device' and a somewhat more bright-toned wreath (something that is not that often observed on badges by this maker) that both still show nice and/or pronounced detail overall. The badge has a superb age-patina and retains most of its original typical finish: it is just a tiny bit dirty but has most certainly never been cleaned nor polished. As stated above, is the piece a typical, non-maker-marked specimen and is an evident example that was produced by maker: 'Friedrich Linden' based in the town of Lüdenscheid. The war-badge originated from a private-household in Germany and was never before part of a collection. It should be noted that these by F.L.L.-produced 'Flugzeugführer-Abzeichen' in 'Buntmetall' are much more harder to encounter that their more commonly seen 'Feinzink' counterparts. Simply an attractive WH (Luftwaffe) 'Flugzeugführer-Abzeichen' by the desirable maker 'Friedrich Linden' that is I deem accordingly priced!
