P/O by BSW Cloverleaf

Hello
was offered with this nice looking bird I'm comfortable with.
The only thing I'm pity about is the crack on the wing.
Your opinions are greatly welcomed.

Good Luck.
Alex.

Alex, I'm not convinced it's a P/O badge. I "suspect" this is a Pilots Badge with the wreath turned a wierd yellow patina. JMO.

Darrell Hello
Interesting. Unfortunately I have nothing in hands but the pics.
Was it natural way or duty of chemical process ?


Good Luck.
Alex.
PS: Eagle is really lack of silvering.

You can compare it to this one.

The photos were taken in bright sunlight that somewhat messes with the colors.

Here's a BSW Pilot's Badge with similar Yellow Patina on the wreath. If the lighting was the same, it would probably look very close in color.

HI,

Many BSW pilot badges exhibit the cracking in this area of the wing.

Hello and Thanks for the photo session.
There is still a good point, it happened natural way. But the price.
Here is another producer BNL but the similar effect.

Good Luck.
Alex.

I don't believe the pin should be gold along with the wreath. It looks like the whole thing was colored gold to deceive.

Yes. You are absolutely right.
It become the important point here in Russia too.

Thanks all for the interest.
Good Luck.
