One more. The group of Oberfeuerwerker Kurt Porske. In the navy from 1902, serving on many ships (S.M.S. HERTHA, S.M.S. LORELEY, S.M.S. MÜNCHEN, S.M.S. MAGDEBURG, S.M.S. KAISER, S.M.S. PRINZREGENT LUITPOLD, S.M.S. KOENIG). He was onbord of SMS KÖNIG during the battle of Skagerrak. From 1917 - 1919 with the airship service. He recieved both ottoman medals during his service at the Feuerwerker school as teacher. Maybe prevent some guys for doing stupid things :-)

Hi Chris, don't rush. There are a lot of great NCOs group around. My second favorite is the group of: VzFw Georg Markert enter the war with 5. bayer. Res. Feldartillerie Regiment where he remained until 1917 when he changed to air service. After pilot and single seater training he joined Jasta 76b. He had one victory on 30.05.1918 but died the day after on a dogfight. He was awarded the Ehrenbecher pothum.

Great groups guys. Sometimes NCOs bars are better then officers bars. One if my favorite groups is this one. VzFw Max Kampf an Saxon NCO who served in DSWA from 1904-06. Awarded with MEZ2, FAM bronce and DM for SWA. On WW1 he joined the air service as an pilot and served with KAGOHL 1 1916-17. He was one of few Saxon pilots who received the St.Heinrich medal. The fact that both documents (pilot and commemorative badge) survived makes this group one of my favorites.

Correct, it is the same badge but from another guy. It is from an german manufacturer. The owner was later pilot with Jasta 22, 6 and 48. Really nice group. Regards Alex

Wellcome here. You found one of the best sources. This forum. Here are some of the best collectors of german aviation badges and you will get allways help. The second one you should think about is literature. 1. Imperial Sky by Stephen Previtera 2. Aircrew Badges and Honor Prices of the Flying Troops from 1913-1920 by Carsten Baldes 3. Army Aviation & Commemorative Airship Badges by Robert S. Pandis And many threads on this forum like this

Great contribution Odulf. Don't stop. @ Gunnar, you are right. The Harms who received the observer badge on 21.05.1918 is not Gerhard. It should be the Art.Mt. Harms from LFA who was at LFS Barge and later promoted to Vz.Fl.Mst.d.R. on 21.08.1918. But Gerhard was canceled from the list of observer on 19th Sept. 1918. That means the date of award to Gerhard Harms is missing. Regards Alex
