      Hey Dave! A nice typical FLL pilots badge IMO. I see traces of Gold on the wreath and wonder if it could be a PO with loss of Gold coloring?
      Wreath also looks to be scratched up a bit, is this visible in hand? Does the Eagle wiggle or is it a bit loose as these often are?

        Yes a very nice FLL pilots badge and as Kevin pointed out, possibly a Pilot observers badge.. (and imo) one of the nicest looking of makers badges...

          Hi Kevin , yes there are traces of gold on the wreath here and there. the wreath is a little scratched/worn too

          the eagle is very firmly in place

                Hi guys,

                IMO, its a good FLL, but messed with. The eagle has been reattached to the wreath, and it is probably put together from two different badges. The wreath is completely messed up on both sides, but the eagle is almost untouched. The brass rivets are also not typical of FLL badges, especially with zink eagles (the rivets would be zink also).

                If it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a little
