I am no expert but they all seem to be made in the identical fashion, despite being RFC,RAF, AFC etc. Are they genuine?

The 29.4% fees put me off bidding on anything I am afraid. Plus £15.00 minimum postage.

These look identical to the ones recently sold on ebay and were subect to comments on here, which were considered to be fakes. https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ad.php?t=84439

I’m with you Dave, they look dubious to me.

I would certainly be interested to see the reverse of these badges.

The fact that a set of very rare wings from different periods having very similar manufacture is questionable.

The fact that three identical sets appear for sale in as many weeks, two from highly questionable dealers, raises more red flags than a Nazi rally at Nuremburg....

It seems someone tipped off the auction house as all are now 'Withdrawn, pending further research'...
