Badge
The badge you have is a RAF aircrew arm eagle. It was introduced in 1950 on the demise of the Aircrew Ranking System (Star & Garter Badges). It is worn by Sergeants and Flight Sergeants above their rank stripes and by Master Aircrew on their Rank Badge. They are worn in pairs with the Eagle facing to the wearers rear. Therefore your Eagle is for the right arm. It can be found in gilding metal/brass and in Anodised Aluminium. It is still in use today.
