RD4003.)CASED LUFTWAFFE GLIDER PILOT'S BADGE: oh, wow, is this one nice! Just got this one out of an old collection and you'll be challenged to recognize it as being the clever fake that it is. Only an 'exert' would know this, seriously. Super-fine quality silver alloy wreath, gun metal gray eagle motif. 13mm wide nickel-silver hinge with pointed pin. Two perfect rivets on the back. Can't praise this one enough. Marked on the reverse with familiar maker 'G.H.OSANG, DRESDEN'. Comes in mildly aged hinged case with functioning spring button catch at front. Silver printed title on the cover 'Segel=Flugzeugfuhrer Abzeichen'. Interior is lined with plush blue velvet and is slotted to perfectly hold hinge/pin assembly. Upper interior is lined with padded blue satin. EXC++++

The well-known Canadian website has genuine German Glider Pilot's Badges priced in the $1,800-$3,500 range. This gem is identical in many respects to those illustrated.
