Beautiful Ca. 1942 - 43 1st Die Type Polish Pilot Badge. UK-Made by JR Gaunt of London

Beautiful circa 1942 Ð 43 1st Die Type Polish pilot badge made in the United Kingdom by JR Gaunt of London. The badge features a nice maker's mark on the reverse which reads: "J.R. GAUNT (??)

9+ (Near Mint-): The badge shows little wear, nearly all the silver plating details remain intact, overall excellent condition, it would be hard to upgrade this example.
