not sure I can recognize it and would like to receive other people's opinion. Thanks

Hi, I am looking for info on Major Dieter N?lle of ZG 76 This is what I know: N?lle recieved the EKII, EKI, PB and clasp for fighters in silver "In the John Vasco and Peter Cornwell book 'Zerst?rer:The Messerschmitt 110 and its units in 1940' Lt.Dieter N?lle is listed as Adjutant of II/ZG1 and later III/ZG76.They also report : Lt.N?lle baled out and was captured on 22 May 1940 when his Bf110 was shot down by a Morane,20km south-west of Soissons.Ogfr.Alfons Hyrschke (BS) also baled out and was captured.Both crewmen returned after the armistice." But would like to find more (bio, photos ..........) and especially if he served as adjudant and pilot for Hermann G?ring. Thanks

yup poor copy, ask Mark Miller to show a real one it will speak by itself

According to the thread mentioed it is a vet badge and not a WWII For the books I don't believe in it, but I can be wrong and let each one to decide

Well, we obviously don't have the same opinion and I believe a wartime pic will show how I am wrong but not, IMO, a WWII badge, if commemorative postwar, that I don't know

LiF gives a good overview of this unit

What unit?

Any wartime picture showing one used?

Looks very familiar even if your pics are better than mines (well 10+ years ago) and it was not only photographed, it was one of mines Happy if it is in a good home and, please, enjoy it like I did - yup, really a good set

Fantasy item

not good

Does someone know if this pin was worn in Spain by the LC (a pic would be terriffic) as I am unsure of what to think of it Maybe one of the 2 Spanish ports used but the LW as depot???

another pic

Again, the witch personal marking on the tail of Heinkel He 111B-1,25-9 "Pedro 9" of 1./K88 On the back is, also from 1./K88, aircraft 25-15 (He 111, know as "Pedro 15"), flown by Lt Fuhrhop. His (and his crew) mascot was a black Scotch terrier

They were used on ebay to "help/push" the selling price of a regular brown leasure flying jacket and a grey leasure flying pants, no?
