A German Second World War Luftwaffe Air Gunner’s Badge.
A superb example of the Luftwaffe Air Gunner Badge in its presentation case. The award good early type marked B & N L on the reverse side. Thick needle pin, original hook and hinge, two delicate domed rivets. Virtually all of the silver finish remaining to the surrounding oak and laurel leaf wreath, slight rubbing to the high points. Virtually all the finish remaining to the black diving eagle with the lightning bolts within its claws. Fitted into its early type box with the unusual lettering of Bordfunkerabz with the slightly ribbed imitation leather but paper covering, the upper inner silk has a purple hew with a blue to purple lower velvet base, extremely good condition £500-£700
