Re: RAF Badge or Insignia
Hi David
This might be a candidate:
It's described on the traders website as a "Armourer / Artificer / Fitter Trade Arm Badge"
and there is a posting on the British and Commonwealth Military Badge Forum which suggests that "it is the WW1 and WW2 Artificers trade badge, used in WW1 and WW2 by the Army and Navy (the Navy had cloth versions) and in WW2 up to the early 1950's by the RAF as the Armourers badge, all three services still use this badge but in cloth, still worn on the right forearm."
I'm no expert but I hope this helps
Dave
