Description
A Polish Observers badges, and a pilots badge, both with pin and suspension chains. The Observers badge is of die cast construction, with a solid back, and an oxidised silvered finish over what appears to be a copper base metal. With metal screw post fixing and spinner disc fitting (the spinner marked A.Panasiuk Warszawa, and almost certainly a post war reproduction). The Pilot’s badge is of hollow backed die stamped manufacture, with oxidised silvered finish. Screw post fitted with spinner disc (the disc marked Mennica Panstwowa). Condition: generally very good to both. The Observers badge is tarnished, and there are some tiny chips to the oxidised surface on the wreath area, revealing the coppery base metal. The pilots badge is also oxidised, and there is some loss to the silvered finish on the front in places.
