Dominique,
The silver bullion theater made wing is absolutely beautiful! That wing, when looked upon while taking into account the culture and icons of India and the angular formation of the outline of a properly set head dress, gives context to the crown for me regarding the artisan who tailored the wing. Look at the outline of the headdress of this individual and look at the crown. Indian made indeed I believe.
If you ever decide to part with this wing, please let me know, I would love to use this as the centerpiece of the discussion of Indian made RAF insignia.
Just a wonderful find and thank you so much Dominique for sharing with us and blessings in your further collecting...Mel
