I would assume by it´s style and the way the stamps look like that it was made by Schaper...
I like it.
I like it too. And I agree with you regarding the maker. Not certain but possible.

Hi Alex!
Nice thread you have started here!
I just stumbled over a picture for sale at Ebay, that might fit in here pretty good...
(quick rip ) What impresses me most is the striking military posture of the naval flyer...

On the place of the hamburger cross it would be wrong. The Oldenburger pushed on the second position and than the FEK.

He got the Hamburger and worn it on the medal bar during the war. Later on when he got the Ehrenkreuz he changed it with the Hanseatenkreuz. I have a picture of him wearing this medal bar befor the cross was chaged. Same bar. The Ehrenkreuz was more important for him.

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 :-)

300 is hard if is a identical reprint from original but if the reprint require a lot of work it worth to add additional information and new pictures. But 100-200 is realisitc.
That makes the book more interesting and the goal of 300 is more realistic.

In my oppionion you should try a OCR software for text recognition to avoid typing. The actual generation of software works very good. 90 percent of the text will be identified. That save you a lot of work.
I agree with you that you will not get rich but IMHO it worth.

I regret that this project never been brought to an end, because I and another fellow spent a lot of work to add infomation for a reprint.
There were some issues but with more effort this could be solved.

I bet that these still go for 1000s a piece though... What is the difference between a land pilot badge and a regular pilot's badge? Is it in the role?
The land pilot badge is the navy version of the imperial german pilot badge although the training was on different units. The navy have their own training facilities but some of the pilots were trained on army training units.
The number of navy land pilots are less than army pilots.

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.
