Air Crew Badge ?'s

[sshort]

I need someone in this audience who knows what to look for in an original Air Crew / !st Pilots Observer badge issued from 1933-1935 to post pictures if possible or reply with information to help me know what to look for in an authentic badge. Specifically the type B with Needle pin and hallmark. Thanks Steve S

Hi Steve,

You won't find much info on these at all - genuine badges are extremely rare. A quick search turned up the following;

Chances are, you're looking at a repro.
