Early Luft RankList for von Nobbe/Florer?

[RobinH]

I have been trying to research a family crest that is engraved on an early Luftwaffe sword scabbard. The family name is probably "von Nobbe" but there is a very similiar crest to the "von Florer" family. Does anyone have an early Luftwaffe rank list from around 1935-1938 that could tell me if there are Luft officers listed by either of those names? Thank you.

No one of either name in my data base of 23,000 Luftwaffe officers, 1935-45.

Thank you for checking.

The family crest I am researching is engraved on a damast blade luftwaffe sword scabbard. This would be a presentation type sword. Could it be possible that a sword such as this could be given/awarded to a non military important person in the 1935-1940 timeframe? The German nobility research book seems quite insistant that the crest belongs to the "von Nobbe" family. I would appreciate opinions.
