Luftwaffe pilots badge
Fake or genuine how do you tell for sure
Re: Luftwaffe pilots badge
Either post pictures or buy the reference book(s) specializing in LW Badges.... the reverse usually tells the tale,... rivets, pin, catch, markings, and quality of the badge itself... can't be explained- too many variations.

Good clear close up photos of front & back and noted details are required.

Re: Luftwaffe pilots badge
Still poor quality pictures, but from what I can see.... NOT one I'd want for my own collection or for resale.... doesn't conform to any maker's example in Previtera"s Referance.... I don't like the wing tips cuts, quality of strike, rivets, unfinished tip of pin, thin swastika, etc... is it tombac, zinc, or Aluminum?...

Clearly, it's a fake.
