DOSAV Membership Badge.

[Chris]

Hi folks

Has anyone got any ideas what DOSAV stands for.

This is an unusual badge not found in any books I have looked at.

It may be for Gliders Troops.

This badge is old, no doubt about that, it has been worn much, no doubt about that.

The pin has been cut down and has deep ingrained patina.

Can't see any reason to fake it, why?

I have never even seen one before........

It is made of a base metal and gilded/bronzed, as looking more closely, silver coloured metal can be seen in places underneath the surface.

The star was at one time red, but what is left is barely visible under a very large magnifying glass.

So in all probabilities I am sure it is genuine

There must have been different variations

Regards Chris
