Help I.D. this badge
 

Is it post war?
What does WAG stand for?

Wireless Operator Air Gunner.

Its look to be be WW2 RCAF. Hard to tell with out seeing a photograph of the rear.

here's a period photograph showing an officer wearing the wing.

Thanks Guys

Great picture,so the fellow would operate a radio & machine gun?

Yes. His first task in the aircraft was wireless operator during the flight. If during the mission the aircraft was under attack, and one of the gunner was killed or wounded, he had enough knowledge,as a secondary task, to operate a mg.

Aircrew wings have been thoroughly reproduced, caution is warranted. As well, the brevets were worn well into the post war period. There are authentic new old stock wings out there. This example looks authentic.
jester 421, could you post an image of the back of that wing?
(I have a CF greens tunic dated late 1970's with an AG wing, and the fellow had the rank of major.)

As reqested Back & front

So if the badge has been thoroughly reproduced,then orginals are rare?
Could you ball park a value for me please?

Hi jester 421, your example looks good. Wings are not my area of specialty. The WW2 era brevets range in price, but are not scarce. I would suggest that your wing is in $15 -$25 range.

Thanks for the help.

Regards
Jester

To conclude on this subject here are two websites that can give you more informations on the different half-wings patterns.

The WAG brevet appears to be a Straight Wing Pattern Variant and was issued in March 1943. One method that can be used to determine a post war issue is to put the brevet under black light and if the threads emit a bright glow then I would be suspicious that it is not WW2 issue.
