I think it's a post war de-nazified pilot badge, it's real or reproduction?

Hi mate,Ost & KVK2 w/s look ok. But i'm not keen on pilot badge. Rivets arn't right & quality looks poor. Stewy S

Thank you again Pierre, I don't know what is "tombac', but I think that zinc is like this one.

Mercy encorre Pierre, Je ne sais pas qu'est-ce qui c'est "tombac", mais je panse qui le zinc c'est comme ça.

Pierre,

Here are the close-ups.

There are two damages at the arms.

Nothing wrong with the Frozen Meat Medal or the KvK 2nd. I don't know enough about the 1957 badges but yours looks good to me. It's hard to tell on those 1957s because they were made chealpy after parts tocks for wartime pieces were used up-so there can be many differences between early and later made 1957s.

Hope this helps?

Also, I don't have but a few examples of 1957 awards in the collection at the moment-which includes a 1957 EKII and a Wiederholungspange for the 1914 EKI.
