As the Full Dress was abolished at the start of the war, technically all such wings are 'pre war'. Of Full Dress uniforms Ive seen the style does not change from 1920s wings to 1939.
In 1947 the RAF introduced a new service dress with bullion wings, but it was unpopular and short lived (about 18 months to two years). At that time there was effectively a full range of half wings available in bullion and full size (Pilot, B, N, AG, S, E and O), but these are mistakenly often referred to and sold as Full Dress. When the Full Dress was abolished there were only two flying badges in the RAF, the pilots wing and the O, so if you find any others they will be the 1947 pattern!
