Luftwaffe Breast Eagle ‘Droop Tail’ Version

WW2 Luftwaffe Ground Assault Badge By Friedrich Linden

Original mid to late-war WW2 Luftwaffe Ground Assault Badge by Friedrich Linden, Lüdenscheid, die-stamped zinc construction.   The obverse of the badge has a riveted eagle which is typical of the maker, with the silver wash still intact.  This reverse of the badge is smooth and has no maker mark, however, this is without a doubt an FLL (Friedrich Linden, Lüdenscheid).  The hardware on the back is standard for this maker and includes a sheet metal catch and hinge that have been soldered together without any modifications.   This FLL Luftwaffe Ground Assault Badge is a textbook example in good condition.
