Superb - and just moderately used! - WH (Luftwaffe) 'Flugzeugführer-Abzeichen' (or: pilots'-badge) being a neatly maker- (ie. 'GWL'-) marked- and/or: 'Buntmetall'-based example as was produced by the maker: 'Gebrüder Wegerhoff'

The - with certainty early-war-period- and/or truly very detailed! - WH (Luftwaffe) 'Flugzeugführer-Abzeichen' (or: pilots'-war-badge) has only moderately been worn and comes naturally mounted onto its fully functional (and fully unaltered!) pin- and/or functional and unaltered catch (ie. typical catch-set-up). The award shows a 'separately'- (and/or very detailed!) silverish-coloured eagle-device attached (by means of two firmly attached- (and unaltered) rivets (as is visible on the back). 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 is shows a clearly present makers'-designation on its back (something that is normal with these by 'GWL'-produced war-badges) and is in all respects an example that can be attributed to the desirable maker: 'Gebrüder Wegerhoff' as based in the town of Lüdenscheid: the award shows naturally all the specific details as known for a genuine badge by this particular maker. The piece is just minimally stained ie. dirty but has never been cleaned: the bright silver-coloured wreath and/or equally-coloured eagle-device both retain a very nice albeit minimally tarnished appearance. This particular - and fully untouched! - badge was recently found at a private German household and was never before in collectors'-hands. It should be noted that these attractive 'Tombak'-based, LW-'Flugzeugführer-Abzeichen' by the GWL-company can easily be graded: 'scarce' and are not that easily encountered: I deem that I have priced this attractive piece according to its comparative rarity and/or desirability!
