1st Japan Air Lines Numbered Employee Lapel Badge Unmarked Silver

This is the first Japan Air Lines (JAL) employee lapel badge in unmarked silver. The badge is numbered and has characters on its reverse, and the logo design is a clever juxtaposition of the letters J A L resembling the oncoming nose of an airplane.

Circa 1951-1952.

Approximately 1-1/4" in width and 1/2" in height.

Silver with enamel.

Single screw post with disc backing.

4038 and characters; STERLING on backing.

This is from an airlines collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. ebay RC/GEX94 LAGEX8/11 SeBBJX9/15

8- (Very Fine-Excellent): The badge shows light wear and has an overall tarnish, with a slight ding to the enamel.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
