Opinions wanted on RAF Kings Crown pilot's wings

[Paul L Murphy]

These came with a large group of items I recently purchased. They appear to be ex-tunic since they have stitch holes all around and the quality of the embroidery is excellent. Could any of the more experienced wing collectors give their view as to whether or not they are the genuine article or a copy ?

Thanks in advance.

Paul - I wouldn't say that I was terribly happy with the back stitching - machines are usually more even. However, they are usually covered with the black backing. The front is rather pronounced with the Crown and Pearls and I am wondering if it is one from the Indian factories - but, made for the RAF stationed there in WW2 ? I think we need a few more opinions.
