Fake Pilot Badge.

Hello all,

I haven't posted here in a while and wanted to ask the forum's help in determining the value of a WW2 pilot school badge. It isn't for sale, I just want to get a realistic idea as to what it's worth. Thanks a lot!

Re: Pilot Badge Value?

Gene, I can definitely tell you the nut is good. I don't like the appearance of the red star enamel and the finish on the airplane in particular, or general overall composure of this piece.

Re: Pilot Badge Value?

In hand, mine looks like the original one posted by Alfred. If original, and I believe it is, what would its value be?

Another copy. Characteristic is the grubby enamel work.
