[Karearea1965]

Good afternoon all - any advice/help on this NSFK Motor Pilot's Badge would be greatly appreciated. The number on the back - GM No 111241
I know that they are a rare badge, just wanna check I've got a good one - fingers crossed. Value?

If the OP posted a fake its scary good as it seems (to my uneducated eye) to be identical to the good one

[Karearea1965]

Please explain to me what is not good. I'm not an expert by any means, but by looking at the 'good one' I can't spot much difference. Are there any signs that give it away or what should I be looking for to say it's ok? It's not as dirty as the one RonR posted (nice by the way), but I think it's ok.

it seems to have many casting flaws. Maybe better pictures (close-ups & not so dark) of the front of the badge would help.

If it is a fake (and you may be right) its almost perfect. If they sort out the "casting flaws" they have an exceptionally close fake as they have nailed the reverse hardware.

Apologies for the delay - I was trying to get a hold of a better camera. Hopefully these are ok. Thanks for all your help & advice

Hi Nic,

After seeing your new photos I can only say that I was wrong. Now I have no doubts the badge is good! First impression is not always the correct one, sorry
