To add to a salesboard or to leave it alone

[2dresq]

Greetings,
I just acquired a lovely sales display board from pre 1935.  Anyway, there is a piece that was missing from the board.  The lower insignia should be the Marine Seeflieger rescue badge like this one.

 

Now, I don't happpen to have one of these insignia. I was also wondering if I should continue to add labels to the piece as well.  There were some that managed to survive but there are lots that are missing.  So, What are your thoughts?  Should I leave it alone.  Should I hunt and possibly incorporate this insignia when I get it?   Should I add names?  This is a period board I believe.  I would love to hear the thoughts of the members.   What would you do? 

 

Best Regards,

JustinG

 

Thanks for looking.

Hello JustinG,

If I ever had the luck to come across one of these, i would leave it as it is, unless you can confirm that something came from that very board. 

Centre, third down; do you know how that "shadow" of the eagle came about?

That board is beautiful, I love it.
If the board has holes where you can see a badge has been removed, I would restore it. 
If there is no evidence of a piece in the holes, I would leave it as is.
