Well the wings look like reproductions to me. The cap badge is nice though, used from the late 30's up to about 1950

I'd agree with Mike on the wings I'm afraid. The RCAF had several that the RAF did not, so you could go for 'WAG', 'NB', 'NW', and the good old 'O'.

Cap badge looks like a nice Scully made one (finer than most others), dates used as per Mikes message.

Ah nuts
Lol. The wings were a stretch and to good to be true. Mind you if I hadn't risked it I wouldn't have the badge.
Thank you.
I will mark reproduction on the photo and not sure how to do the same to the wings.
