Wonderful Salty 1930s Japanese Army NCO Pilot Badge

This is a wonderful circa 1930s Japanese Army NCO (non-commissioned officer) pilot badge with a "salty", "been there" look. The badge is sizable, and shows a coppery winged propeller beneath a star with golden rays of light behind it. The badge had a period repair done in order to stabilize the star.

Circa 1930s.

Approximately 1-7/8" in height and 1-3/8" in width.

Copper-plated and gilt brass.

Vertical T-style pin with C catch.

None.

This is from a Japanese militaria collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. TRAJJX12 L/SBCJJX11/12

7- (Very Fine-): The badge has small areas of moderate wear and tarnish; a few small spots of oxidation; period repair to badge.

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