Default RAF Pin Badge

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me anything about the attached RAF badge as I haven't seen this type before.

It has a glittery finish (which is not tarnished even though it looks like it is), it has obviously had a pin which is missing and is a standard cap badge size.

Is it a souvenir or sweetheart or has it been worn on something?

Thanks a lot,

Michael

One of a set of "toy" badges from the 70's, 80's, I think, can't remember the firm that produced them offhand.......

Thanks Leigh,

Not worth putting a pin back in then.

Prob not - I have a few that I picked up as a kid from "Cheesemans" in Lewisham, I just can't remember the firm - Grey Green Acorn has them in an album I think.
