I have a spare Army Air Corps cap badge, this units badges have been the subject of numerous posts on the forum. But before I offer it I would like members opinions on it.

Thanks for your thoughts

Rob

It is genuine indeed. And an early one I believe; later ones showed more and more flaws. See attached for example, the eagles' head is largely missing.

That is a really poor quality badge and personally I wouldn’t hesitate to say not genuine! But thanks for showing Luc shows it’s best to check!

Thanks for your replies chaps, this is one I probably will keep as a variation.
