A Flieger-Erinnerungsabzeichen by C. E. Juncker of Berlin. The Flyer’s Commemorative Badge (Retired Aircrew Badge) was awarded to active and reserve personnel who had been honorably discharged from flying duties. It is constructed out of a die-struck tombak base that has been silver-washed and black-burnished. The obverse features an eagle perched on a boulder with its wings folded down, surrounded by an oak leaf wreath with a mobile swastika at the bottom. The full-back reverse featured a soldered-on barrel hinge, a soldered-on round wire catch, and a round wire pin. However, in this example, the Swastika has been professionally removed and readded, and the hinge, pin, and catch have been replaced (Our price reflects the repairs). It is an extremely rare award to find in any condition.
World War 2 was one of the most significant conflicts in modern history. Millions of soldiers and civilians died in the fierce battles between the Allies and the Axis.
Tales of courage and sacrifices still live in the military artifacts that remain in our grandparents’ attics, basements, and footlockers. Iron Cross HQ is very proud to offer a wide selection of WWII uniforms, WWII field gear, weapons, medals, decorations, photos, and more, for sale at Iron Cross HQ Store. Reproduction items and originals are available for Militaria collectors and reenactors.
