WWII US Army Air Force Radio Operator Wings Theater Made Applied "R" Not Auth.

Description

Original WWII US Army Air Force USAAF Theater Made Radio Operator Wings.  This style of badge was never authorized by the Army Air Force but apparently there are several examples out there, each unique.  It is not hallmarked.  It is 1 15/16" across.  A small piece of looped wire has been hinged to the back just under the catch to flip up against the pin and hold it in place, pretty clever.  It needs an adjustment to flip all the way up and over, I don't want to force it.  The applied "R" shows tiny weld spots and some tiny little beads around it. Very cool piece, very rare.
