The German WWII Glider Pilot Badge (Segelflugzeugführerabzeichen) is a remarkable historical artifact that embodies the legacy of the Luftwaffe during World War II. This authentic military collectible from the esteemed C. E. Juncker production showcases the exquisite craftsmanship characteristic of its time. Awarded to members of the German Air Force who completed glider pilot training, it represents both skill and dedication. Recipients of this badge included not only active pilots but also those who were honorably discharged yet met the requirements for this prestigious recognition.

This badge, approved in 1940 and first issued in 1942, features a distinctive oval shape adorned with a silver oak leaf wreath. At the center, a darkly oxidized national eagle flies majestically, with a swastika positioned at the base of the wreath. Originally crafted from aluminum, the badge underwent material changes later in the war, transitioning to a metal alloy. Measuring 42 mm in width and 55 mm in height, with a wingspan of 53 mm, it also existed in a cloth version for wear by officers and non-commissioned officers. It is an extraordinary piece for any collector of military memorabilia, offering a glimpse into the past and the insignia worn by the daring pilots of the era.
