Hey Doug

My understanding of the brevets is that the bullion wire was used from 1993/4 - 2003/4. You can see that in the pilots and navigators wings, as well as in the mess dress wings that period. The mess dress wings of the 1994- are very similar in wording but differ in size to the pre 1994. As you can see there were a few different mess dress brevets that were brought out during that time. I boil the differences in them down to different runs of the brevets (different manufacturers or materials used by the same manufacturer).

While brevets are not as popular as pilots and navigators wings, I have seen anything that was issued, and afterward was quickly discarded because of lack of interest, makes them scarce to track down. I see fewer and fewer of these around today, which I believe in turn will make for some interesting collecting down the line.
