Default RAF Bomb Disposal Sleeve Badge
The evolution of the RAF Bomb Disposal badge. The last badge with the smaller centralised lettering was the chosen design.

What do you think of this one? Slightly different construction than the ones you posted. Is this one r.Real or repro?

A real one, WW2 period but it's been on ebay for ages as it's overpriced. They go for £35.00 to £40.00 generally

The badge I showed above sold off Ebay right after I posted it here, so am I correct in assuming one of our members got it?

I'm surprised at that as it had been up for ages and was overpriced. Maybe, if the buyer is a member here they were just looking for assurance it was WW2 era?

I think the seller may have lowered the price. I believe it went for £39.00, which is in the range you mentioned above. Although I just bought a similar one for £10.50.

Maybe the seller is a member? £10.00 for a wartime one is a great price!
