Imperial German Pilot's Badge... in Cloth.

Nothing special, just the usual paper backing material like was used on the cloth EK1's

found this salted away while i was looking for something else. multiple types of bullion thread. the center background is blackened (tarnished?) bullion as well.

backing.

the badge looks lopsided in these pics, but i think it's partly due to the camera angle.

so, any opinions on my pilot badge?

do i stash it away again for another 6 years or so, or do i sew it onto my Member's Only jacket?

Hi Eric, I don't think anyone has enough experience to really pass judgement on these. I've only had the one I showed. never even seen another to inspect!

true, very true.

well, it has six or seven different types of bullion wire on it-- never know when a nice period pic will pop up (for any one of the items shown on this thread), so back into storage it goes!

Instead of storage send it to me. I'll look at it every weekend.
