I purchased this item, had no idea what it was until I spotted a similar item on Ebay. From what online research I've done, I listed it here on Ebay as a British RAF WW 2 hat/beret badge. It has a firm felt-like back and I believe it is authentic, but I want to make sure the age is correct as I don't want to misrepresent the description of the piece. Can anyone out there advise me?
Thanks for your expertise!

You can go to eBay's United Kingdom (England) site an find both real an repops
What yer showing isn't WWII
an look at eBay item number:
131149707983
Or this link should take you to a WWII listing, with lots of pics
search their site on da English stuff cause there's more of it there than here in USA.
Just my opinion

Thanks for your helpful suggestion. I already explored researching the UK site, but as you can see, the item to which you refer is a new replica piece, with some obvious differences. The closest thing I've encountered has been item 111133271581 which was listed in Australia. It is identical, except for the backing material.
Any other comments or thoughts are very appreciated! I'm also attaching a pic of the back of the badge.

Let me get this straight...
I posted a link to a complete UK listing that sold an the seller listed as WWII Issued cap.
An you saying it's a replica ("to which you refer is a new replica piece" ) cause a person in Austrailia who has something similar to yours an calling it authenic WWII
So because you can't find anything excatlly like your Asian version everyone else inclundin pics at the RAF Museum in London are replicants an you have the only real WWII badge in da entire world....
All because nobody has one just like yours????????????????
OK, sure sure, I believe ya I'll just be backin outta dis box real slowly now...
See hands were ya can see em... no trouble now... whatever ya say... sure sure take it easy there
If you say it's da real thing go ahead an pay ta relist that as many times a you feel right bout it..
Too bad ya don't have da WWII Beret for dat puppy cause I heard that's a rare item also.
Just my, sure whatever ya say, opinion
If ya need a tissue there in the home an garden section under paper towels
