      Hello,

      Can you post some pictures? A Pilot Badge should have a blackened eagle on a silver wreath and a Combined Pilot Observer Badge should have a silver eagle on a gold wreath. A gold eagle on a silver wreath would not be correct. Maybe you have a badge with a refinished eagle?

      Best regards,
      Tom

          Because sometimes people do silly things to badges and medals for any number of equally silly motivations. We do need to see some pictures of your badge, though, if you expect some definite answers. If your badge is real, it should not have a gold eagle. Therefore, the possibility exists that an ignorant owner decided to "pimp" up the badge by painting the eagle gold because they think it looks more flashy that way.

              GWL eagles can often have a caramel colour, could this be the "gilt" affect referred to?

              Pics would be nice!

              Evaluate the item, not the story and not the seller's reputation!

              If you PM/contact me without the courtesy of using your first name, please don't be offended if I politely ignore you!
