Significant number of Hungarian pilots wore that badge (the first one) as well and not just the ones, who were trained in Italy before the war started. So I guess, it was not so rare at the Luftwaffe as well. BTW my Hungarian aces book contains the foreign pilot badges as well (some Hungarian aces wore the Italian, or Bulgarian or Croat pilot badges too) I have some nice pictures about Hungarian pilots with foreign pilot badges as well.
