    Yes Finnish one was returned to dealer right after posting as it was no good. So at the moment no Finnish one in the collection.

      That was known copy with "fake rivets". Originals have two real rivets that connect the central piece with swastika.

                  I concur with Francisco the legion badge is a repro. Original ones have the thin "U." Please search the thread here is one I found that is the correct type:

                    Crude made pin-catch arrangemet besides the fact that original wings were made of silvered brass and not of that soft white metal. Here's the hinge detail of the legion wings once belonged to Uffz.Bauer; note the yellowish metal where the silver wash is gone.
                    A good clue is to see the upper 'U' shield entering the checkerboard in the genuine wings. See detail of mine's

                            I've decided to revive the thread by showing you guys an interesting find!
                            A grouping to a Bulgarian pilot in WW2 including this rare diploma awarded to him by the Hungarian Royal Air Force Academy, stating that he's graduated this academy and is bestowed and allowed to wear the Hungarian Pilot badge - "Golden Eagle With Crown"!
