Rare Boy Scout Lighthouse Coast Watchman Proficiency Award Badge black back Troop Large PS327N2

DESCRIPTION:   Coast Watchman – White Lighthouse, proficiency badge

Style Variation:  black back, ribbon, bound (the black back style variation is thought to have been produced in the late 1940’s) I have found this badge to be one of the more elusive styles, perhaps the challenging requirements and the geographical restrictions could explain the relative rarity, see notes below.

 Size:                 1 1/2 inches or 38 mm in diameter, I have noticed that these badges may have come in more than one size, this badge is the smaller such version at 38 mm

CONDITION:      New Like (the colour and images on this badge remain very strong and vibrant, see images for greater detail)

Going for:          $119.99
