ARTIFACT:
This is a Gorgeous Prinzen Size WWI Imperial German Naval Land Pilot Badge Clover / Club Maker Mark. Gilt bronze, nice details, looks better in hand, again because of dark patina where gilding has worn through on high points.
Clover / Club Maker Mark maker has been ID'd, and it is hard to see in the images, but it is there. A Clover, or Club if you’re a card player, as it does have a "base". Patina does not help with the imaging, easy to see in-hand with a magnifying glass.
