Is this german Luftwaffe?
 

Hello,
This is a little unusual question but I just got this attached small badge.
I am a little doubtful whether it is Luftwaffe or not and hope someone can clarify this.
I can't find it in any of my books.
Thank you and happy new year and thank you for all your help this year too!!

Hi Christian,

This is a lapel badge for Ostpreussen (East Prussia) with the province's symbol, the moose antler. I have its exact twin in my collection.

Thank you very much for your time. It will not go on my wall then!


Happy new year,

It was the emblem of Beobachtungs Abteilung 11, later Beobachtungs Abteilung Afrika.


I have one as part of a group to this Army unit.

Yes, but if it isn't part of a Luftwaffe grouping, it is impossible to differentiate between the ones worn by East Prussians, and those worn by Luftwaffe personnel.
