    Looks as if the german offizierstellvertreter had added a pair of badges of his own to the turkish pilot badge

    Apart , he is wearing a kunftige friedensuniform .coloured collar and cuffs , bright plain buttons and bright lace . perhaps the photo is of postwar era

    It almost has a Bulgarian look the the crest at the top of the badge. It’s a unique badge for sure...
