1957 StuL LW Pilot badge

[Skyhawk]

Hi All,

** 1957 Ordensgesetz Changed Form Decoration **

Posted for your review the latest bird to fly into my collection!

This piece arrived from a US based WAF member (thanks) and I believe found it's way across the pond from "Collection Mathijs". This piece certainly is not minty and has an interesting "chocolate" brown patina. I have seen a somewhat similar patina on several TR era Pilot badges. The badge does have a solid hinge block. I welcome all comments........

The images are in natural daylight.

Best,

Jeff

Hi Jeff!!
That's a nice Pilot's badge you have landed, early S&L with a great look to it!!
I can never decide if I prefer worn/ patina look or mint????
Tough choice, but I can tell you I like the look of this one!!!
