Good late war zinc BSW but The eagle look gold refinished.

The badge

Dear Seb,

Thanks for your kind reaction! I think that it is just the pictures that make the badge look a bit 'golden': it is really silver-coloured.....


Best regards,

Original badge IMO.

Agree with Seb & the guys

Nice original piece Mario.

Eagle is not refinished, typical wear pattern of the thick original silver finish.

So three types of catches on the BSW pilot badges: the "?" catch, the catch on a round base and the catch on a rectangular base?

Hi Pierre

My example with a round base plate went onto the WAF database last week and was considered fine. I think this one is too, though rather worn.

Salut Pierre,

The ? catch is only on Tombak example and round / square catch plate for zinc. Here the link for the DB concerning BSW type.
