Aluminium Pilot's Badge

[Hal]

Hello all, this is my first submission and I would be very grateful for your opinions on this one. I've been collecting militaria for a long time but have got my fingers burnt more than once. I own this badge btw.
Many thanks.
(I have more pics if needed )

Hi Hal, welcome to the forum, but sorry to report that's a clunker you have there.

Joining this board was a good decision.
Post items here before buying. Will prevent you getting burned!

Thanks for your comments everyone. Unfortunately I bought this badge about 12 years ago.
I'd therefore appreciate your expertise on this Pilot/ Observer badge.

Hello Hal,

Unfortunately that is another well known fake.

Thanks Sebastian
Disappointing result so both badges will be taken out of my collection and obviously out of circulation.
The idea here was to sell the badges to consolidate my collection and concentrate on tropical stuff.
Damn, not any more
I'll move onto other forums now and have my other badges checked out. Hopefully better luck will follow
Thanks for your help

Hi Hal,

Firstly, welcome to the forum. As the others have said, these two are fakes unfortunately, sorry for the bad news.

Simply post them all on here Hal....no better site for an expert opinion in my humble opinion!

Oh yes, I meant another forum within Wehrmacht awards.
I've just posted a u boot badge in the Kriegsmarine forum. Not hopeful with my 100% fail rate so far.
Cheers
