WH (LW) 'Flugzeug-Beobachter-Abzeichen' (ie. observers'-war-badge) being a (typical) non-maker-marked and/or: 'Buntmetall'- (ie. 'Tombak'-) based example by the: 'Assmann & Söhne'-company that comes stored in its period etui

The truly attractive - complete, fully untouched and I deem just moderately used- and/or worn, early-war period- and/or very detailed and pronounced! - WH (Luftwaffe) 'Flugzeug-Beobachter-Abzeichen' (or: observers'-war-badge) has just been moderately worn and comes naturally mounted onto its fully functional (and totally unaltered!) pin- and/or functional, typical catch (ie. catch set-up). The award that came stored it its period (luxuriously-styled!) etui as issued shows a 'separately'- (and/or very detailed!) bluish-black-coloured eagle-device attached (by means of two firmly attached and also unaltered copper-based 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 'Buntmetall'- ie. 'Tombak'-like-) age-patina as is more often encountered on these 'high-quality-produced' Luftwaffe-war-badges. The badge is as more often void of a makers'-designation but is (I deem) in all respects an example that can be attributed to the desirable maker: 'Assmann & Söhne': 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 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 fairly early-period: 'Flugzeug-Beobachter-Abzeichen' as produced by the 'Assmann & Söhne'-company can easily be graded: 'very scarce'. The award came stored it its period (luxuriously-styled!) etui that comes in an equally very nicely preserved condition. The etui shows a (fully present) velvet-based interior-section and shows on its lid the (golden-toned and complete) tekst that reads: 'Luftwaffen-Beobachter-Abzeichen' (as can be noticed on the pictures). The set originates from a private household in Germany and was never part of a collection. I deem that I have priced this attractive (and completely untouched!) piece according to its comparative scarcity and/or desirability. Moreover, do I deem that I have priced this neat and fairly early-period example absolutely fairly: I have seen similar sets being offered for much more than my asking-price!
