Here's a wonder example of a Luftwaffe Observer Badge by GWL! It is a two piece, die struck, tombak base and silver washed construction. The obverse depicts a detailed Luftwaffe open winged eagle that is clutching a mobile swastika in its talons. The eagle is in front of a frosted half laurel leaf half oak leaf wreath that is tied together at the bottom. The reverse of the badge correctly displays; the circular "GWL" (Gebruder Wegerhoff ? Lüdenscheid) maker mark behind the eagle. The reverse also correctly shows; the vertical round wire pin, soldered flatwire catch, recessed rivets and soldered block hinge. The pin, hinge and catch are all non-magnetic and work well! The badge depicts beautiful details throughout the eagle's wings head and wreath! Honestly my pictures don't give the frosting to the wreath justice. A beauty example that you would be proud to own! See pg. 165 of Previteras reference book.
