IMPERIAL GERMANY – BADGE – AVIATION DONATION
During the Imperial German Period, the German people were very supportive of aviation efforts. Graf Ferdinand von Zeppelin turned to the German people for financial support when one of his zeppelins crashed and was destroyed. Zeppelin Spende Tage were quite popular in Germany, and large amounts of money were raised. The same thing was done to help raise money for airplanes.
Today we offer a different variation of an aviation donation medal. The example is made of zinc. It shows an early, two-winged aircraft.
Attached to the medal is a ribbon with three rows of black, and two of white. On the back of the ribbon a small eyelet is sewn in to allow it to hang from a garment. It is an intriguing variation.
