Offered here is an outstanding original WW2 German Luftwaffe Flak Artillery Badge by the desirable maker Hermann Aurich of Dresden, presented in excellent condition. Instituted by Hermann Göring on January 10, 1941, the Luftwaffe Flak Badge was awarded to anti-aircraft personnel for achievement, bravery, and distinguished service in the defense of Germany’s skies against enemy aircraft.
This fine original example features the classic oval oak leaf wreath surrounding a beautifully detailed 88mm Flak gun in firing position, surmounted by the Luftwaffe eagle clutching a swastika. The badge retains sharp detailing throughout, displaying excellent definition in the gun, wreath, and eagle, with much of its original finish still present.
