ARTIFACT:
This is a scarce World War II Croatian Air Force pilot badge Type II with a seldom-seen pin tensioner: a great sign of authenticity! The badge shows a wreathed eagle clutching the checkered Croatian coat of arms with a "U" for Ustaša (Croatian Revolutionary Movement), together forming the coat of arms for the Independent State of Croatia (1941-1945). Although the badge has no maker mark, it was made by the only manufacturer of this particular badge: Zagreb's Braca Knaus. The letters across the top (NDH) stand for Nezavisna Drzava Hrvatska (or Independent State of Croatia).
