Miniature Air Gunner Badge with Lightning

This is a nice miniature Luftwaffe 'Fliegerschützenabzeichen mit Blitzbündel' (Air Gunner Badge with Lightning). The Air Gunner Badge was introduced by 'Hermann Göring' on 26 March 1936 for award to radio operators, air gunners and mechanics who had met the required criteria. The Wireless Operator's/Air Gunner's badge was awarded on an individual basis and the main criteria for bestowal of the award was the completion of five operational flights over enemy territory or a minimum of two months active service. This is a tombak (Buntmetall)16mm version and the miniature is showing stunning details. Nice original example in good condition!
