The Flak badge, also known as the Anti-Aircraft badge, was issued by the Army and Luftwaffe personnel for participating in the defense of the homeland by maning artilery emplacements. A point system was developed to accrue merits towards earning the badge.

The badge is of two piece construction. The eagle is attached as a separate piece. The back side of the eagle has a hinge soldered directly to the main body. The opposite side has a catch which is also attached directly to the body.

Manufacturer markings are stamped in the main body. It is important to know that not all of the badges were marked.
