Hauptmann Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hi all, Need some help on these. Are they good or bad and if good from what period and also an approximate idea of value would be a huge help. Also what is the difference between the two? Any info appreciated.

WRANGEL Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Hi Hauptmann, The 1st badge is the official pilot badge. The number on the reverse indicates that this badge was given probably circa 1919-20 (so there is a little chance that the pilot saw action on the oriental theatre of operation). There is no record of the numbers in the French Military Administration (and more over the number on the badge never matched the number on the official Pilot Identification card). The other badge is a replacement badge from the 1920-1940, it is perfecty original but has less value and interest than an officially numbered badge.

scotty1418 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Is the coloring on the first not a concern? The gilting on the 2nd is pretty standard but the metal toning and colors seem off on the 1st? It does display the correct B type serial number for the earlier ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
