Interesting Hat - AVG?

[Baron]

I have had this hat for some time.  It is a Lancaster brand in excellent condition and has been lightly worn; the size 7 1/8 tag remains intact.  The bullion patch appears to be WWII vintage and is hand sewn on the hat with irregular stitching.  Neither the hat, patch, nor stitching glow under 365nm UV light.  The wings have Guvstave Fox markings on the back and are affixed to the hat by a double-post clutch-back attachment.

 

Any thoughts about this being an authentic AVG hat?  Maybe a former AVG pilot in the 14th AF?  Thanks!

Black piping would be Avation Cadet ? It could be someting a vet made up post war, but to me it looks like a fantisy piece. JMO

If that insignia was Chinese-made (as I think one should be), I’d expect the yellow and blue sections to be silk rather than felt.   I don’t care for it.

Thank you very much for your observations, gentlemen.  I'll put them down as two votes for "not the real deal."  😀
