Luftwaffe pilot badge with circular wreath by C.E. Juncker, Berlin. Copper coated zinc construction with riveted zinc eagle and round zinc wreath. Unmarked typical late war Juncker production. Tombac rivets in good and tight condition. Very good condition with small signs of age. No repairs, no damage. 

Upon today the purpose for these round wreath pilot badges is still unknown. Speculations about saving production materials/ new design or the most plausable the use of female pilots in the Luftwaffe that needed their own pilot badge are a hot topic amoung collectors. The fakers have been copying these badges for decades but the trained eye will notice the difference between the textbook Juncker manufacturing and the crap that was produced to copy it. 

Extremely rare authentic late war round wreath Juncker pilot badge in very good condition! First time ever we're able to offer such badge! This comes, like all of our wartime awards with a lifelong guarantee on autenticity!
