Fake Pilot Badge Example?

[militariaHunter]

Hello everyone, bought a box of random Canadian militaria and
found this "Pilots Badge" in there.

looks like a bad fake too, the eagle and wreath is all one piece they even have the rivets on the back.

always happy to hear back from the community.

Yep. As bad as it can get I'm afraid.

[Sebastien T]

Depends what else was in the box ....

some other things in the box were a :

Canadian Defence Medal
some RCAF emblems for Navigator and Gunner
and a Ration tin un opened from the Navy
and other odds and ends

If the contents are all like this, the box may be the most valuable piece!

Unfortunately the Allied militaria with any value also attracts the fakers but it is probably not as prevalent as with the German stuff. Good hunting!
