A
very nice example 
of a government issue Luftwaffe Flier’s Sword with unit markings which add to its history. Oftentimes the markings are not decipherable or at least not easily decipherable. But this one I think falls somewhere in the middle. It appears to be issued to or the properly of a Luftwaffe school. With the markings on the hanger possibly indicating that it was issued to a senior NCO in the command element of the school.
That is a informal offhand guesstimate. And what is needed now is to look at the Luftwaffe Order of Battle/TO’s to try and tie it to a specific location. And the organizational structure at that location. That takes a little more work, and is not helped by the fact that the Luftwaffe itself seems (IMO) to have reinvented marking conventions seemingly at the whim of whoever was doing the marking. FP
