Early Luftwaffe Pilot Badge in titled case of issue by BSW.

Absolutely stunning early tombak LW pilot badge by Brüder Schneider of Wein. Tombak construction with a nickel silver finished wreath and chemically darkened eagle. Virtually no wear! Beautiful matt silver frosted with burnished highlights oakleaf/laurel wreath. High quality finish with the burnishing shining like a mirror. The crisp highly detailed eagle retains the original darkened finish. Reverse of eagle is stamped with the BSW cloverleaf logo. Typical domed rivets still holding the eagle tight to the wreath with no play. Textbook BSW hinge, pin and question mark catch in perfect working order. The early titled case of issue is in excellent used condition. Some minor wear but nothing detracting. Steel push button and hinge in perfect working order. Blue flocked base marked 626.K.B. Blue satin lined upper with satin separator with no damage. A fantastic matching PB set which are now getting hard to find.
