M-017a  Early Luftwaffe Flugzeugführerabzeichen (Pilot’s Badge), Manufacturer Marked BSW
Active military personnel who qualified for and received a military pilot’s license were awarded the Pilot’s Badge (not authorized without the military license – the man could fly with a civilian license, but did not receive the badge). This early tomback example is a fine one, with the superb detail usual on the pilot’s badge – a very crisp strike. It has a very evenly toned nickel finish, which remains approximately 97% intact throughout, with a moderately darker finish to the eagle. The reverse of the badge is in nice shape, and shows rivets with fairly rounded heads along with the cloverleaf trademark, with the initials BSW, of Bruder Schneider A.G. The pin is slightly bent. Very nice piece, in excellent condition!
