A Luftwaffe Pilot's Badge By Brüder Schneider To Croatian Pilot Auction 1917 with the 9th InfantryIn silvered tombac, by Austrian maker, marked on reverse BSW (for Brder Schneider A. G Wien), in slightly worn condition, with nice dark patina, overall in very fine condition; in original case of issue, with field made alteration, where the standard lettering had been removed and instead Croatian National colors had been applied in white and red lacquer; without any doubt a badge awarded to a Croatian pilot, probably on Eastern Front.
