Stunning WWI Era FAI Aero Club Suisse Enameled Member Badge

This is a stunning World War I era member badge for the FAI (Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, or World Air Sports Federation) Aero Club Suisse. The FAI was founded in 1905 in France by several countries who recognized a need for a group to oversee the new advances in flight that were then taking place. The badge is in beautifully enameled .800 silver. It has a partial maker mark of renowned Swiss Jeweler Huguenin on reverse.
