Default Observer Wing
Had these for awhile.
I know there is a few variations of these wings.
I figured they were good and WW2?
Theres no difference between RAF and RCAF versions?
With all the variations is this one common?

I don't think there's any difference, but will check in Warren Carroll's book. I just picked up one like the top one on Saturday at the Ottawa show.

I am fortunate that my wife's grandfather was a wartime RCAF master tailor. This was among his boxes of badges and buttons.

From what I have seen over the years, I think this is a fairly common but good looking WW2 Observer wing pattern & Canadian made. I have a few in my collection.

Best regards,
David
