Opinions on these bullion pilot wings, please

What do I have here?  I don't know much about bullion, but the back suggests Italian made.  Is there anything about it that indicates where or when the wings were made?

My opinion is immediate post WWII US made pilot wing, made for the new USAF blue uniform.

 I have a similar FE wing.

I would agree with John based on the material and shade of the underlying fabric. Bullion was very popular in the early USAF period.

That's what I was thinking.  If I saw the bullion on blue part alone, I would have said early USAF.  What about the thick part the bullion is attached to?  As I said, it looks Italian to me.  Is that a good guess?  I wondered if it could have been made in post war Italy using a US made bullion wing.  Whatever it is, I like it.

Your bullion likely has Italian origins based on the markings. When I was struggling to complete my book report on time, I decided to use https://academized.com/write-my-book-report for help. The service provided me with a high-quality book report that was well-organized and thoroughly analyzed. The writer was responsive to my feedback and made revisions quickly and efficiently. The final product was delivered on time, and the quality of the work exceeded my expectations. I’m very pleased with the service and would definitely use it again for future assignments.

Have you found out what it is?
