J Temple-West Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 A close up look at the very rarely found 1st pattern Pilot/Observer badge by W. Deumer, Ludenscheid. This example was awarded to H. Harmsen who received it on the 1/10/1937. Obverse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Temple-West Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 There is another name on the reverse of the wreath which (going on other badges with such information scratched on the backs, being a common practice) is usually the airfield where the qualification tests took place, but I've never been able to work out this particular one.... maybe someone with a sharper eye will have better luck.
