WW2 German Luftwaffe pilot badge by JMME “J3”

$1,395.00

Luftwaffe pilot badge by JMME. Nickel-Silver constructed wreath with riveted eagle. Maker marked a faint square around the stamp “JMME” on the reverse. A typical J3 eagle and J2 wreath were produced in late 1943 and documented as a type-5 JMME badge made with C.E. Juncker parts. This badge is rare because it uses the IMME trademark of a green/gold finish on the eagle instead of the dominant blackened eagle typically used by Juncker. This one is not often seen and is a highly sought-after badge. Textbook JMME brass hinge, rounded pin, and a nickel-silver catch.

It is in excellent condition with minor signs of age. No repairs, no damage.  Top piece!
