    Imperial Air Gunner

    Hi folks,

    I'm pretty sure I already know the verdict on this one, but I'm not thoroughly versed on these so wanted to double check, just in case. Please let me know your opinions.

    Thanks!

    Looks to me like an issue badge. I unfortunately got one of these years ago, and sold it ...this one may be a TR version to replace the original post ww1. I like it . Could you show close ups of the hinge and hook assembly's?

        Very nice dude...I really like it but I also think that this is a TR version.

          Thanks Chris!

          juoneen,

          Here are the photos of the hardware. The badge's base metal is tombak (brass) when viewed under a loupe.

                Talking with a few other folks, it turns out this one is unfortunately a fake that resembles 57 hardware, but still is not genuine.

                Bummer!

                  There is a nice example of this badge on Carsten Blades web site,

                    It does indeed look like 57er period hardware and Deumers at that.....I have a possible Assmann from that period and a St u L pilots badge with similar hardware...they are not fakes but copies for veteran replacement purchase.
                    Prost ! Steve.
