Kings Crown Army Flying Badge-Opinions

Hi team

Can I have opinions on this Flying Badge.

It is Flat back, 99cm long , it does not glow but Im not to sure if this is a 1950's-1953 wing or an older reproduction, as it looks quite sprightly for its alledged age!

The embroidery is not like my WWII long wing and neither the same for my early Queens Crown Wing.

cheers

Hi Steve

Hence on here for opinions, looks to new from my POV.

But just need the forum to give it the Roman Thumb, either up or down.

For my money - the KC is a modern copy.

It lacks quality and detail for a badge from that period, for me this is a replica.

Thanks Luc

100% agree, the seller down here is one of the good guys,I received an apology and full refund/credit including courier (I said no on courier), he even said keep it!

Good for reinactors I guess.

cheers
