PLW Tatigkeits abzeichen fur Waffenpersonal Schwere Bomben (Trade Patch for of the Luftwaffe)
The original trade badges were introduced in May 1935 and were supplemented with additional badges prior to and early in the war. In all the Luftwaffe utilized no fewer then thirty-nine assorted trade specialty badges. Some select trade badges were piped with twisted grey or silver/aluminum braiding to denote NCO’ s ranks while some were piped with twisted gilt braiding to denote outstanding performance in the particular trade. When a trade badge was allocated with the gilt braid, outstanding performance, piping it came accompanied with an award certificate. The Aerial Bomb Armorer’s trade badge was issued in two slightly different patterns with one pattern for light Aerial Bomb Armorer’s and another pattern for heavy Aerial Bomb Armorer’s.
