Excellent Radio Operator Badge in rare cardboard case of issue. This badge was certainly not worn a lot. It was probably even unworn and comes in excellent condition 1. Unmarked. Tombak. The maker could be FLL. Stunning silver finish.
Rare cardboard case of issue with lettering "Luftwaffe Bordfunker-Abzeichen" to the top. Good shape but one side of the top bit missing. Please see pictures.
A great set!
