Flugzeugführerabzeichen “W. Deumer Lüdenscheid” (Juncker Parts), Nickel Silver/Tombak

This Deumer Pilot Badge has outstanding eye appeal, it’s a high quality, early production piece, made of nickel silver. The wreath of oak and laurel leaves retains nice original silver finish, with some expected age toning, as well as some original shine. The eagle is a great Deumer produced example, regarded as one of the best-looking eagle designs made by any of the manufacturers. It retains nearly all of the original dark burnishing, with only slight wear. The obverse of this badge shows wonderful detail throughout. On the reverse, this handsome badge is nicely marked behind the eagle with “W. Deumer, Lüdenscheid.” The hardware is correct for this maker, with textbook Deumer rivets. The attachment pin is functional, and remains nice and straight, with a blunt tip to the end. This Deumer Pilot Badge is a choice example of a seldom encountered badge. Very good condition.
