Extremely Scarce WWII Turkish Air Force Member / Crew Badge in Gilt Brass from North Africa

Extremely scarce WWII Turkish Air Force Field Made Combat Crew / Air Force Member Badge. This example is gilt brass and hollow, two-piece construction. The badge is the shape of a soaring eagle with a crescent moon and star above. This appears to have been an unofficial badge used in the North African theater, and there is photographic evidence of its usage that exists 

Circa WWII
