Default WWI Turkish Pilot Wing for Opinions
Any opinions on this one? Authenticy? Period of manufacture? (the badge is not mine)

Thanks!

It looks like a German Meybauer-made version of the Ottoman pilot badge. There may be copies around of this particular (Meybauer) badge, so beware of that... Hard to tell if the pictured badge is good.
Cheers,
Mikael

Thank you Mikael. This badge is long gone now, but I'll know what to look for if another comes along.

Please explain why you hold the opinion the badge is a reproduction. Just to call an item a fake is not very instructive to those of us who would like to learn something new.
