Kind of a neat set. Of interest is the early S&L recon flight bar. Check out that broad pin on that back.

The yellow stuff behind the eagle is glue. Too bad they didn't rivet these like the WW2 versions.

Phew, that's all for now.

Oops, one more showing the curvature of the badge, and block hinge.

Hello

A nice, and interesting piece. The pin and hinge point to this being an early made item, but the glued on eagles head suggests a slightly later (eg later early or early mid made, if you follow what I mean) piece. I say this as my understanding is that the very early made versions of this badge were made in the same manner as their WW2 counterparts, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Regards
David

Hi George, really like the mounted EK2 !

[Nigel N]

[Mike Yokum]

Very nice stuff George. You'e got us all green with envy!

The quality and hardware of the recon bar certainly say early piece, but the glue is a bit puzzling.

FYI - I have a short range fighter clasp is gold that also has no rivet. I'll need to take a look at that this weekend to see how it was attached.
