Vintage 8th AF DI ?

[kfields]

I was going thru my Uncle's stuff from his military career and found the attached  He did serve with the 8th AF during WW2.

Does this badge date to the 40's or is it a more modern creation. It's 1 1/8 inch in diameter.

Thanks!  Kim

Thanks, yeah the catch mechanism suggested England to me too but wasn't sure if it was "old" or not or how long that type mechanism was used . Maybe a reunion piece if more recent?

Thanks for the comment 268th. I just read your post after I made my post

Looks a bit crude, post-war item for sure. I can agree with the English made assessment.
