golden kite 1st class

[Patrick W]

Hi all

I have seen a golden kite sash badge up for auction. Looks to be a later period issue. What would be the current going rate for one of these as I can't find any for sale to compare.

Only picture I have attached. Thanks in advance

I'd be very careful. I know enough to ask for a picture of the back of the kite. I would assume this is a repro until it can be shown this is an original. There is a book put out by the OSMA that shows pics of an original.

I'll let the experts comment now.

It's a repro.

Nick is right. This is not a vintage decoration. Unless you want a reproduction, stay away. mikeb
