Product Id: #1253
An extremely rare but as yet unidentified in any
publication, with the exception of being mentioned in one, Luftwaffe officers
trade badge constructed in beautiful quality heavy wire silver weave on officer
quality backing cloth with an edging of 3mm twist cord in aluminum wire. The
form are the wings of the flying personnel trade patch with the center being
crossed by two lightning bolts. The only publication this is mentioned in is
Uniforms & Insignia of the Luftwaffe, Volume 1, 1933-40 by Brian L. Davies.
He describes it identically as 'two lightning bolts diagonally crossed at their
base with arrow heads pointing downwards, overlaying and surrounded by an open
top wreath of oak leaves, gathered and tied at its base. The whole design is
flanked by a pair of stylised feathered wings.' This is described on page 159
with a line drawing of the identical badge of page 155. There is evidence of
this badge that it has been worn a uniform tunic.
