Very interesting back story. So he never served in the USAAF at all? His service ribbons would indicate he never opted to return to them

Those look like really nice original pilot wings. I'd have to see the backside of them to be sure, but they look to be made of a very fine quality silk. I am envious!

Bandmaster's badge?

Greetings all. I recently picked up this oversized badge, and I'd consider it too well made to be a reproduction. Could this be a Bandmaster's badge for a fur bonnet?

Does anybody here have a copy of Gerry Steven's book on UK civil wings that could check this one for me? I am drawing a blank.
Thanks!

Regardless of the technicality of date the ribbon is the exact same for both. Besides the authorization for the CVSM was October of 1943 so this photo was likely taken sometime in 1944 onwards.
