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!

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.

Here is one original to compare.

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

Thank you, Alfred.

Another copy. Characteristic is the grubby enamel work.

regards
Andreas
