kaigunair Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I'm thinking this is a reproduction of a late war 1st class Navy Pilot's badge. Is nakata making repros of these? The propeller in the lower right corner seems to have the "enamel" leaking off the side. http://www.ebay.com/itm/WW2-Japanese-Military-Aviation-Honor-Prize-Badge-Fighter-Air-Force-Medal-flag-/200954929607?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ec9d8e1c7#ht_621wt_935 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Yes. This is fake. Nakata?! Hmmm... Usually he marks his "creations " ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaigunair Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Thanks JapanX. Guess they're finally putting more effort into the fakes, unfortunately. Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) The strangest thing is that this piece indeed has pretty high quality (as compared to our usual japanese fakes), but these "enamel leaks" ... Ridiculous ... Edited August 22, 2013 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
