Hello,

Thanks. The Kings Crowns are not British WW2. They are either modern repros or possibly original Canadian.

The ASR badge doesnt look right to me either.

G'day Dominique,

The large crowns are WW2 RCAF Flight Sergeant crowns & the RAF ASR (Air Sea Rescue) badge is probably a fake. There are many copies of these on the market these days & originals are a rare find. Regardless, grey backing on RAF badges are post WW2 & black is during WW2. Obviously WW2 stocks were used post war until depleted though.

Best regards,
David
