Here is your chance to pick up a rare early DLV cap insignia. This bullion produced example was likely issued. Complete with the cloth backing which is ges. gesch. marked, though it is loose. You’d be hard pressed to find one better than this of this rare early insignia. The Deutscher Luftsportverband was an organisation set up by the Nazi Party in March 1933 to establish a uniform basis for the training of military pilots. Since the Treaty of Versailles officially forbade Germany from building fighter planes of any sort, the German Air Sports Association used gliders to train men still officially civilians for the future Luftwaffe. The first steps towards the Luftwaffe’s formation were undertaken just months after Adolf Hitler came to power. Its chairman was Hermann Göring.
