Default RAAF pilot wings (?)

Hello,

Here is what I believe a ww2 RAAF pilot badge ... but the wreath seems to be white instead of light blue.

So my question is : is it original ?
if yes : a production variant or a discoulored wreath ??



Best regards .. Herve

I would suggest that wreath has faded, as there appears to be a light blue / grey tinge and certainly a variation in colour from the white treads of the rest of the badge to my eyes.

Alas not my collecting area, so I cannot offer a proper opinion as to whether the badge is genuine or not.

Cheers……John
