Finely modeled oak and laurel wreath, surmounted by the Bavarian royal crown and centered by a red-framed shield with diagonal black and white enamel – this hollow-stamped badge was among the highest honors awarded to Bavarian aviators during World War I. The close-up reveals the exceptional craftsmanship of this piece: from the sculptural depth of the wreath to the subtle shimmer of the enamel, elegantly presented in its original fitted case with maker’s mark. A rare and historically significant aviation award – and a highlight for discerning collectors.
