M-007a Combined Pilot-Observer Badge (Gemeinsames Flugzeugführer
und Beobachter-Abzeichen) in Gold and Aluminum Hand Embroidered Bullion for
Officers
This is a super example of the very rare cloth Officer bullion version of this
badge, which was awarded to airmen who had held both a pilot’s license and an
observer’s certificate for at least a year. It is the same pattern as the
metal version, but with a greyish-blue wool backing on which the wreath is hand
embroidered in gold bullion, and the magnificent spread-winged eagle in two
types of aluminum bullion - one with a matte finish, the other shiny, for a
nicely contrasting effect. The gilt bullion has a taken on a nice dark tone
along the edges, with the center still fairly bright. A fantastic piece with
both gold and silver handsome against the dark greyish-blue background. The
reverse still has 100% of the protective paper backing present. Truly
spectacular!
