Default 2nd Anti Aircraft Division
Grateful for your opinions. Is this a genuine 2nd Anti Aircraft Division Formation Badge?

Looks very new to me but of course it may have been hidden away in a suitcase since the 1940s. On the other hand you may well be right to be suspicious, I am, only because my example is not pristine having been worn and compares well with those held by other collectors. You pays your money and takes your chance!! I have sent you a pm.

Angry Repro Cloth
Sadly repro cloth has been with us for a while, anything military that becomes desirable will almost certainly be copied.

Not surprised as it was part of a job lot of mixed mostly modern items. Cost about 50 pence!
