Hi Pete, thank you kindly for the most informative reply regarding this FAA badge.
Certainly helps and the badge would be too modern to fit within my collection parameters. You mentioned the backing would be an indicator of vintage. Since many RN trade badges were long lived is it possible to approximate a vintage i.e. 30's and 40's by the materials used for backing. I have been given to understand that a tan burlap or hessian type material is usually a good indicator of an earlier badge.
Would appreciate any information you may have on this.
Thanks again.
Len.
