    Great photo.  Both the badge and the patch are showing well.  That patch is really nice!

    Here we have the picture of one H. Backhausen from Lehe. I´m not so sure what badge he´s wearing - first I thought it was an airgunners badge...

    And another Picture from the net:

    Seefliegerstation List, the pilots name is Karl Klussmann and he´should be the man on the left.

    (The guy doesn´t look like it, though. Maybe  the information is not true - I would think of him as one of the men in leather  ...)

    Note how big the naval airplanes were!

    Another aquisition from the last days is this text book square punch see pilot badge. It is the silver gilded version. Although the square stemp is missing it is a nice piece of this maker without any modifications as seen on many of this pieces.

    This one cames from the estate of Flugzeugmatrose Riecker (II. SFA), awarded on 25.03.1916

    This unique group of Flugmechanikerobermaat August Remy the mechanic of "Wölfchen" from SMH Wolf arrived me. He was together with Flugmeister d. S. I Paul Fabeck (P) und Vizeflugmeister d.R. Alexander Stein (B) the flying personal onbord of SMH Wolf. SMH Wolf was the world wide first ship that by default was equipped with an airplane.

    The SMH Wolf was quite the surface Raider.  She roamed out mid-war, laying mines and capturing ships before returning in 1918 with her seized goods.  The onboard Friedrichshafen two-seater really contributed to her success and Remy was part of that success.

    Thanks for showing it here!

    Nice and interesting photo Hagrid !

    The photo might have been taken at the Fokker Schule Putzig which was establish in mid Oct 1916. However at this stage the Fokker E was no longer usable as an front line line aircraft.

    Hi Gunnar!

    The picture is clipped from an album and titled  "1. Fokkertraining at Sandhofen" (thats near Mannheim) - should be January 1916.

    I misread one name, though:

    From the left are depicted: Wirth, Hauptmann (died), Arns, Mayer, Haggenmüller, Schnell and Ditzuleit, naval landplane flyers alltogether. There was another picture of the same bunch...

    Regards

    Hagrid

    I was lucky last week and I got the awarded Seeflieger Badge from Otto Hess.

    It is made from Bronze by H. Schaper.

    It's looks like he was wearing this badge a long time and he has polished it very often.

    Regards Seeheld
