Original British WWII “Battle of Britain” Shrapnel Turned Pin
-
Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. The Battle of Britain (German: die Luftschlacht um England, literally "Air battle for England") was air combat during the Second World War, when the Royal Air Force (RAF) defended the United Kingdom against the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) attacks from the end of June 1940. It is described as the first major campaign fought entirely by air forces. The British officially recognize its duration as from 10 July until 31 October 1940 that overlaps with the period of large-scale night attacks known as the Blitz.
This is a lovely pin made from a piece of shrapnel taken from the wreckage of the Battle of Britain. The pin measures 1½ x ¾” and is inscribed with BATTLE OF BRITAIN on the front, and is export-stamped ENGLAND on the back partially under the pin.
A very nice piece, which could even be worn today. Ready for display.
