Veteran Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) Hello everyone This small (lapel?) badge is 33x21mm. Gilt metal and enamel. Reverse carries a vertical pin and the maker's mark : M.W. MILLER Ltd B'HAM. 18 [/center 29th Fighter Squadron has a long story dating back to WW1, and I believe it is still operational. Would it be possible to establish what period this particular badge might be ? 1918 ? WW2 ? Later ? Thank you Edited October 29, 2009 by Veteran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Hi best estimate as it has a king's crown and not Queens, pre 1952 hope this helps regards Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veteran Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) Thanks Alex This is a very useful start. It came with a WW2 set of medals but it could have been older (number 18 on reverse 1918?). I hope more informations will be forthcoming.

Mervyn Mitton Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 As Alex says - certainly pre-1952. However, I think you may find it to be just either side of WW2 - or, even WW2. I saw an identical one recently - they were asking £25 ($40) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veteran Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) Thank you very much Mervyn. The badge is a very good looking one. It came in a lot with a copy (so marked) AIR FORCE MEDAL and DEFENSE & 1939-45 WAR MEDALS. Regards Paul Edited November 2, 2009 by Veteran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
