Desert Air Force 1943 Victory in Tunisia Locally Made Badge

This is a 1943 "Victory in Tunisia" badge for the Desert Air Force, which was comprised mostly of Royal Air Force enlistees but also pilots from other Allied countries. The badge was made in North Africa and has an Art Deco flair to it. It shows the DAF's bull's-eye logo with stars and a crescent moon at bottom bearing the word TUNISIA.

Circa 1943.

2-1/16" height and 1-9/16" width.

Plated brass with painted areas.

Horizontal British "Y" pin with "C" catch.

This is from a British collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MBEX06 LABJX10/10

6 (Fine+): Badge shows somewhat heavy wear and tarnish and some of the painted areas are worn away.

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