Schaper. It's looks like he was wearing this badge a long time and he has polished it very often. Regards Seeheld Otto Hess? How do you know it belonged to Otto Hess? Are there any other documents? Photos? Nice looking badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeheld Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 It's long Story. It's came together with yours and other stuff in 2001 from a small auction house into the collection of a friend of me. He was also the one who sold your silver engraved private purchased badge to a german collector who sold yours into the wide world... Regards Seeheld Your silver badge was sold in the auction without box... Here is a scan from your silver piece made by my friend who brought the badge during the auction and the page from the auction catalog from 2001.

Hagrid Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Hey there - it has been a while My latest aquisition is a nice picture of a member of the "Marine-Flieger-Abteilung". I like - besides the quality of the photograph - the "modern" look of this young man: Nowadays he would be called a "hipster" with his stylish beard and tattoo ...
