2/3/25 - This is a great example of a Luftwaffe Observer Badge. This badge was awarded for completing 2 months of service and completing 5 flights as an observer, bombardier, or navigator. It could also be awarded after being wounded while acting as an observer. This particular badge was made by Gebrüder Wegerhoff of Lüdenscheid, Germany. This badge is made of nickel silver. The badge is in great condition with some darkening of the silver on the wreath, primarily on the reverse. The reverse of the eagle is properly maker stamped "GWL".
