Hi all, I just joined the forum and look forward to learning as much as I can. I picked up this badge quite a while ago and wanted to get people's opinions. I had several established people look at it and they said they believe it's real. What do you guys think?

Very nice. Do yourself a favor and treat it with Vaseline, I see a little sincpest coming up..Comment

Thanks all, I appreciate it.
I heard about the use of Vaseline to get rid of that. Is there a chance of damaging the piece if I use it?Comment

No, just the opposite - it can only help.Comment

Hi Chad:
Your flak badge looks great, and echoing Don's comments, it is a harder one to find. The vaseline treatment will be a great call.
I enjoyed searching the isles with you at the Pomona show, and hope to see more of your collection posted on the various forums.
Take care,
DennisComment

I just realized I never did post pics after I cleaned it up. There's still a little vaseline left, but overall this proves the effective results of vaseline treatment!Comment
