Rare WWII Royal Canadian Air Force RCAF Operational Wings Badge for Single Tour by Birks

This is a rare World War II Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) operational wings badge. This badge was given to a crew member for the completion of at least one tour, or awarded posthumously for at least one sortie against the enemy resulting in death. The badge is in sterling silver and gilt brass by Birks, and is a small winged "O".

Circa World War II.

Approximately 3/8" in height and 1-1/2" in length.

Gilt Sterling Silver, gilt brass.

Double screw back with original backings, back plate.

BIRKS STERLING beneath plate.

This is from a WWII Royal Canadian Air Force insignia collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MAJX14 LCJJX3/14 SCJJX03/22

7+ (Very Fine+): The badge has some light wear and tarnishing.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
