Chris, would you allow us to add these pics to the addendum of our site--of course giving credit. Would like pictures of the front and back covers as well as the contents of the pass ! This is informatin worth passing along on our site. Thanks for consideration Vic

You are absolutely correct and my mistake. My intention was to post the comment and not the name. I have been on the other end of that and I fully understand your point. My apologies to all concerned. vic

Fantastic responses and great photos. I have very limited knowledge on these rare pieces and this series of posts has really helped me clarify some thinking. I really appreciate the time each of you have taken to educate a novice. Vic

Email I received today, which adds to the discussion. Crown and Halfmoon punch mark are never a good sign. Engravings are widely forged as well. If I had to buy a piece I would go for a standard bronze gilt one. Example of a "Land Flieger" attached, the sea flieger looks the same from the reverse and basic features of the front. Andreas

Rick, I see sites that discuss Army pilot and observer badges, but do you know of one that discusses these navy pieces. I do like the engraving, the shaping of some of the letters and numbers. I picked up Wolfgang Wiesand's dagger and it is crying out for a badge.
