Royal Canadian Air Force Patch

#1

Post by PaulR » 03 Jul 2018, 23:54

Hello, I found this patch at a flea market and it caught my attention. What I do know is that it is a Royal Canadian Air Force 33rd Squadron patch. What I don`t know is what war it is from (I`m guessing WWII), where on a uniform it would go, and how much it is worth. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

It's for the RAF

Canada does not have a "33 Sqn".

Thank you all very much. What is the difference between a queen and king`s crown? Also, how much do you think its worth or how much would you pay for it?

Thanks I can see the difference. I bought this patch for $22 so was that a fair price?
