Default Help ID this gunner/bomb aimer badge

Hello, I have this badge in my collection, and would appreciate the help of other Forum members in confirming its country of origin, era, and authenticity. My apologies, I posted the photo before I realized it was in the wrong orientation; it should be rotated 90 degrees to the left, I believe, to show the proper orientation of the badge.

Thanks,
Donovan

Hi,

I also have one of these lying around somewhere, and I have always understood it to be a rare South African (variant) Air Gunners/Bomb Aimers badge that was worn between the wars.

Regards,

Zob.

This should answer your question.

Zob, if you have one and want to part with it let me know.
