Two Gull Glider Badge Pin

Product Description: This two gull Glider Badge Pin is a really appealing, high quality piece, in outstanding condition. It is made of a brass alloy (Tombak). On the obverse, all of the beautiful original blue and white enamel is intact. Most of the original silver finish is still present on the metal, with some light, honest wear to edges. There is a light, uncleaned patina from age and wear. The reverse of this badge retains nearly all of the original factory applied silvering. The attachment fitting is the type used for wearing the badge in a button hole on a lapel. The number “83574” is neatly stamped on the buttonhole fitting. There is no maker mark, and no sign of any alteration or repair. This scarce two gull Glider Badge Pin is a complete and well-preserved example, that displays very nicely.

Historical Description: The National Socialist Flyers Corps (Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps, or NSFK) was a Nazi paramilitary organization that conducted military aviation training and held sporting events. It was founded in April 1937, as a successor to the DLV. The organization and ranks in the NSFK were similar to that of the SA, and it worked together with the Hitler Youth to provide education for young people. Primarily, NSFK training utilized gliders, though private airplanes and balloons were also used. Members of the organization also built and flew model aircraft. The “winged man” organizational emblem of the NSFK featured Icarus and a Nazi swastika, and was used on everything from dress uniforms, to the sports clothing worn in competitions. As with most uniformed organizations in the Third Reich, the NSFK had a myriad of specific regalia and insignia, each with its own distinct purpose and meaning.
