Superb - and just moderately used! - WH (Luftwaffe) 'Flugzeug-Beobachter-Abzeichen' (ie. observers'-war-badge) being a neatly maker- (ie. 'A'- or: 'Assmann & Söhne') marked and/or: 'Buntmetall'- (ie. 'Tombak'-) based example

The truly attractive - and actually fairly rarely encountered! - (I deem early- (ie.pre-) war period- and/or very detailed WH (Luftwaffe) 'Flugzeug-Beobachter-Abzeichen' (or: observers'-war-badge) has been 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!) bluish-black-coloured eagle-device attached (by means of two firmly-attached rivets as is visible on its back as can be noticed on the pictures). The badge truly retains most of its period finish but does show a minimally tarnished- (ie. typical 'Buntmetall'- ie. 'Tombak'-like-) age-patina as is more often encountered on these 'high-quality-produced' Luftwaffe-war-badges. The badge shows a clear makers'-designation on its back (that reads: 'A' as can be seen on the pictures) and is thus in all respects an example that can be attributed to the desirable maker: 'Assmann & Söhne' as was based in Lüdenscheid: the award shows naturally all the specific details as known for a badge by this particular maker. The piece - which is I deem of a fairly early-pattern' - is still somewhat stained ie. dirty but has - I deem - never been cleaned nor polished: the bright silver-coloured wreath and/or bluish-coloured 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 early-period: 'Flugzeug-Beobachter-Abzeichen' as produced by the 'Assmann & Söhne' -company can easily be graded: 'very scarce'. I deem that I have priced this early-period example absolutely fairly: I have seen similar examples being offered for much more than my asking-price!
