Just above the base, on the inner field, is an embroidered swastika in bright silver bullion wire. Across the centre of the wreath with its tail plane and left wing just breaking the outer edge, is embroidered the central motif of a two seater, low winged monoplane which is a representation of a Klemm K1 25. The tail plane has a small circle with a swastika. This badge was sewn on the left breast pocket and was authorised for wear with the NSFK uniform.

Pilots of light aircraft who were members of the NSFK were authorised to wear the NSFK Pilots Badge upon qualification as a civilian pilot. Prior to the institution of this badge, the NSFK pilot received only his licence upon qualification.
