Default RAF Officer Cap Badge - Date?

Hello,

I've had a search around but still struggling a bit with dating this badge; can some kind soul please confirm that it's late inter-war, early WWII period?.

Thanks in advance

I think it is earlier than what you thought. I believe it is 1919 - 1920s as the central jewel in the crown is red and not blue, as in later badges.

Much appreciate you sharing your expertise Dave. I had no idea this might so early; it seems, as is so often the case, that the devil is in the detail.

Many thanks.

Tug
