Opinions on pilots badge please.

[Streetbob]

is this a late war FLL pilots badge ? Photos aren’t good but all that is available, different shaped rivets. Any opinions as to real/ fake , whatever greatly appreciated.

It appears to be a genuine FLL pilot badge in zinc.
Would love to see some clearer pictures of the rivets. They look kinda odd.

I have also a late zink FLL.
Here it is so you can compare it with yours.

It’s not mine but is for sale locally and am interested in it if it’s real and price is right. Not sure what sort of dollars it’s worth , looking at yours it seems good.

Hi Bob,

As the others have said, its an original FLL PB with some decent finish left on the wreath. The left rivet doesn't look messed with, might have just been cut short and threrefore had to cut into the wreath a bit to secure it properly. If the price was right I might go for it, but these later war FLL PBs are pretty common so wouldn't be hard to find a nicer one with textbook rivets.
