Luftwaffe Luftwaffen Case Identity ?

[RNLSGC]

I hope that I have selected the right portion of the forum to post this question?

I have the following case (empty ) of which the only thing I know is that it was for an award for the Luftwaffen and nothing else. Could some please advise what nice treasure is missing and thanks. Also, are the cases hard to come by?

Thanks

Mark

I have to agree with Gene. There are a lot of reproduction cases out there, this one being one of the most common.

If had been an original, this is the type of badge it would have housed.

Well I now have the rest of the story! I thank you much and must say that is a very nice badge. Correct me if I am wrong but short of having documents there is now way of knowing to whom that award was awarded to?

Regards,

Sometimes, as in "very, very rarely", did a recipient scratch his name and rank into the back of the badge. Without such provenance it will be nearly impossible to find out who the recipient was unless you've got supporting documentation like photos, papers etc that belonged to him. There were thousands of these badges awarded.
