WW2 Plastic / Bakelite Economy Cap Badge - Type 2

This is the smaller pattern in the series and quite hard to come by. Circa 39mm tall by 24mm across the flames. Two original tabs to the reverse, folded flat. In good overall condition with only minor distortion and no crazing of the cellulose acetate plastic. Sometimes incorrectly described as Bakelite. See the final photo for a comparison with its larger cousin, listed for sale above (my item 67384).
