Reconnaissance Clasp and Pilot badge.. original ??

[voelender]

I can buy these two badges for a good price but are they original ??

The eagle of the pilot badge is a bit loose. According to the seller it has been re-attached. The needle looks new as well.

The Reconnaissance Clasp...... I really do not know.

What is your opinion ??

Hi Voelender,

Both are fine originals in my opinion.

The Pilot badge is an unmarked FLL, but the rivets show that it has been tighted up or the eagle re-attached as the seller says. This certainly hurts the value of it, and for such a common type of pilot badge, I would wait for a nicer example.

The Recon also looks good to me, typical later-war production with not too much finish remaining.

The FLL certainly has been messed with & as Tom said there are always better examples available, unless of course you prefer the been there done that PB's
Nice clasp.....
