Description
This is a great early World War II Royal Air Force Bullion Pilot Wing made in either Burma or India. The wing is in a smaller, "Mess Dress" or as the US might call, "shirt" size, for wear upon a summer weight tan or white uniform and is in a pinback style. Most likely for a tan bush jacket, with the lovely tan backing material. The bullion is very bright, showing little wear.
