The style of lettering suggests hand made. I have a brass Fiji title on an RAF rank slide, and a loose identical one JRGaunt marked.

so do you think its a RAF usa volunteer WW2 period?

I'd think it was possibly theatre made, and could be for any one of a number of units.

The Civilian Technical Corps was a radar unit made up of US civilians serving under the Air Ministry. They are known to have worn a number of unofficial items. Not being regulation, I think you'd be hard pressed to find a confirmed answer.
