rakkasan Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Hello everyone, I came across this pilot qualification badge recently in a lot of polish badges I am purchasing. I've never seen a badge with wings this short nor have I been able to find any documentation . Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the reverse side yet. Can anyone help? Thanks, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehrentitle Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 It looks like the full sized badge where the wings have been trimmed down. Maybe to be worn as a lapel pin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakkasan Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 I believe you're right, after having received it and gotten a good look at it (sorry no time for a photo yet) the screw post has been removed and a rough-looking pin device has been soldered in it's place.........oh well.

ehrentitle Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Not to worry, it's still an original badge, even if the wings have been clipped a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Maybe for very short pilots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
