LUFTWAFFE PILOT OBSERVER BADGE
Herman Göring, replacing the Aircrew Badge that had existed since 1933, officially instituted the Combined Pilot-Observer Badge on January 19, 1935. As the name implies, the badge was to be awarded to personnel who qualified as both pilot and observer.
The badge's measurements and design are identical in every respect to the Pilot?s Badge. It consists on an eagle in flight clutching the swastika, surrounded by an oval laurel and oak leaves wreath. The difference between the Pilot-Observer and the Pilot's badge is that the eagle is polished silver and the wreath finished in gold. The eagle is soldered to the wreath by 2 round rivets, and sometimes has a space between the claws while others not.
THE BADGE HAS LOST MOST OF IT'S SILVERING BUT IS OTHERWISE IN GOOD CONDITION.
