Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. The National Socialist Flyers Corps (Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps; NSFK) was a paramilitary organization of the NSDAP Party that was founded 15 April 1937 as a successor to the German Air Sports Association; the latter had been active during the years when a German air force was forbidden by the Treaty of Versailles. The NSFK organization was based closely on the para-military organization of the Sturmabteilung (SA). A similar group was the National Socialist Motor Corps (NSKK).

During the early years of its existence, the NSFK conducted military aviation training in gliders and private airplanes. Friedrich Christiansen, originally a Generalleutnant then later a Luftwaffe General der Flieger, was NSFK Korpsführer from 15 April 1937 until 26 June 1943, followed by Generaloberst Alfred Keller until 8 May 1945.

This is a very nice original Helmet Decal for the NSFK, which shows the NSFK Icarus insignia, with a swas at his legs. The decal measures about 3 1/4 inches across, and 2 5/8 inches tall, and is in very good condition. It does have some cracking and chipping, as expected of a decal this old, and there is some tearing and degradation of the backing material. It looks like it may have been exposed to moisture at some time.

The paper backing itself still has part of the original markings, and what we can see reads CARL / NÜR, which is enough to identify the maker as Carl Schimpf of Nürnberg, a known maker of NSFK and other decals during the WWII period.

A great piece of WWII Militaria, ready to add to your collection!

NOTE: We cannot guarantee that the decal will still water transfer correctly. It is being sold as an antique ONLY and not a useable decal.
