Hi Steve, Nice accumulation for 1 CPB.
What is the back of your officer's badge like? Lugs or screw posts? Maker mark?
Do you have any examples of the melton titles?

Nice Indeed Thank you for sharing!

Please note we love to see pictures of the back of the Badges and Cloth Patches, I think It's part of the ten Commandments of BCMBF

Great images Steve. That plastic pin in your plastic badge is extremely hard to find.

I think the word is almost Imposable to fined Mr Bill and in working Order.

That Badge with the pine sold on EvilBay few months ago for $650.00US,
and was the first time I've seen being sold with the pine on EvilBay

But what intrigues me the most Mr Steve is your Wings, the back of the Maple leaf Is Black?

Ok I see that the position of the Lugs are different on these two badges?

I have a spare plastic pin but unfortunately its a repro. Yes, the back of the leaf is black. The manufacturer used black thread on the rear of the maple leaf instead of a matching color or white as is often seen. I was told by a well known 1 Can Para collector/author that these wings are of a type known to have been made in England during the war. That's about all I can tell you.

I thought I would try my hand at some better detail photos. I hope this shows some of the finer details so that people can learn what to look for.

Great Pics


You see I'm is one Fake and one is real?
Then the one in the 1st picture looks real to me.

It would be Nice since you claimed to have a fake one To put picture of Both
Real and Fake side by side front and Back an, a Explanation on what the differences are, P.S. Just asking

Now you stated that you got one of the Brass Lugs Fixed!

I found a great example of a 13 Batt B.W. Badge but one lug is Missing

who fixes these and where do I get these Lugs??

Thank you for your time
