Very nice condition Graf Zeppelin LZ-127 Weltflug (World Flight) badge to commemorate the highly successful 1929
round-the-world flight
of the historic dirigible. The pilots were Commander Hugo Eckener and Ernst Lehmann.
The historic flight began in Friedrichshafen Germany on August 15, 1929 with stops in Tokyo Japan, Los Angeles California, Lakehurst New Jersey and ending back at the Friedrichshafen Germany origin point on September 4th, 1929 after flying
21,250
miles.
Condition is Excellent
with a little oxidation and a few small grime spots on the back. The pin is intact and solid.
Nice looking badge with deep blue and green colored enameling for the world. Really nice substantial feel to it
.
FYI the last two pics show prices paid ( 0 and 150 Euros) at auctions for two of these cool badges. However in both cases the pin was missing from the back and there was noticeable wear.
