Buyers beware a fake LRDG badge in a group on eBay...

Enjoy the hobby, Keith

With regard to the Distinguished Flying Cross, no designer's initials at 5 o'clock on the outer edge of the obverse center circle, that I am able to discern. You can enlarge the relevant image to observe the area. And now in a very short span of time, it appears to have been pulled.
