This British made badge has a very unique combination of a Tiffany style catch with a typical British style pin. Very strange to see this combination. The sister pin to this wing is poste on the U.S Army Air Force - Bombardier page.

This wing is colored gold but it is the same dimension as the standard issue shirt size wing seen above. These gold wings are, most likely, sweetheart items.
