The badge is made of bronze or copper which is finely enamel decorated in multiple colors. The badge shows an airplane flying over a green enamel ocean. At one side of the ocean in dark blue enamel is New York & at the other side of the ocean in red enamel is Paris.

Four of the known color combinations, including the color combination we are offering, are all rare. The one color combination which is common is the version with red N.Y. & light blue ocean, & green Paris & also the version issued with no enamel is common. Actually, the example we are offering with the dark blue N.Y. & green ocean & red Paris, is the only example that we have ever seen or heard of in this specific rare color combination. The three other color combinations which are rare are dark blue N. Y. & light blue ocean & red Paris, & dark blue N.Y. & pink ocean & red Paris, & blue N.Y. with copper/gold globe & red Paris.
