Hello Jan

The two Croatian badges are fakes, most probably the Yugoslavian as well. Bulgarian could be good, Prussian Ce Juncker has the markings and exaust holes, ciukd be good but I'm no expert in Prussia. Spanish is good...

Best regards

I can confirm that the Croatian badges are commonly seen fakes, as is the Royal Yugoslavian pilot badge. The Prussian "Juncker" is also a fake. The Bulgarian observer badge could be good, or a "Frankenstein" badge made of genuine parts post war. But, at any rate, that one is the most interesting in this collection. The Spanish pilot wing is good, but likely a 1960s issue wing, very common.

Cheers,

Mikael
