I am looking to add to my DLV collection and was wondering if this badge is scarce or not. Not that it really matters about scarcity but I dont want to pay out of my nose on it. Can anyone give me a rough estimate. The things mint, see photo. ges gesh.... on back that looks to be brass.Thanks ahead , Tiep

These enameled NSFK flight badges were WIDELY faked. And these repros are quite good and convincing. I heave heard these were done by J.F. out of Austria. Many I have seen had a mottled age look to the backs.

These do exist, and real ones turn up, but for me unless it came from a vet or with an iron clad return policy, I would pass.

I like the one posted at the start of this thread,The Floch repros tend to have no detail to the face and just look like a blob.Jay Parisi
