Imperial German, WW1, Extremely Rare, Minty Naval Sea Pilots Badge, Named & Dated & Boxed in Original Hugo Schaper Case. The Naval Land Airplanes mostly operated from Marine Jastas in Flanders with the rest operating from Seaplane Squadrons on the Coast. This was not a large part of Kaiserliche Marine’s Avaition contribution to the Great War.

The German Navy had it’s own Pilot’s Badges for Sea and Land Aircraft. I currently have both listed separately. This was one of the first Sea Plane Badges I had encountered in over 40 years of collecting. This extremely rare badge is engraved on the reverse with the pilots name and date.

Hugo Schaper was a Berlin Jeweler who specialized in making Pilot Badges and other awards during the Great War through WW2.

I have since found 2 Mint Naval Sea Plane Badges, not engraved listed separately.

Pilot badges for the Kaiserliche Marine are considerably rarer than Imperial Army Pilot Badges.
