BNL Pilot, opinions wanted.

[Peppe864]

Hi guys!

I am no expert on Pilots badges, but this looks to be an original BNL-piece, the question is: Is the catch replaced/resoldered/repaired?

I am used to associate BNL with another type of catch, look at the last picture.

Does anyone know for sure if they used two types of catches?

IMO this is the textbook catch for a BNL:

Hi Pepe,

I think you are correct, the catch is repaired. The last picture is what we typically see on B&NL badges.

Everything else looks fine on the badge. The rivets look a little weird, but everything else looks perfectly fine so I think a nice original.
