Default Observer brevet.
Found this in the pocket of a 1944 or 45? Flt Lt (Navigator) tunic a long time ago. my feeling is, its 'genuine' theatre made? I seem to remember there were grains of sand in the pockets!
Quite a shallow angle on the wing.

It's an unusual shape, at least to me, but I defer to Mike as he seems to know what he's talking about. If he likes it, then it must be OK.

Don't give me too much credit lol. It does look like a legitimate badge, and I'm a sucker for theatre made badges
