Is This a WWI Aviation Pin?

I have this winged A pin that looks like a Royal Naval Air Service pin, however the wing feathers are sticking up and the A is textured, unlike some examples that I've seen. It has a C clasp closure, which would be in keeping with the proposed age of the pin. I'm not sure how standardized insignia was back then, especially for what was a new service - I have seen two or three different variations of a winged A badge, but not this one. Maybe it's something else - anyone know?

 

Not an A
Upside down

 

I didn't even think of that because of the bar across the letter.

 

I just did an image search with the pin in a V orientation. Anything that I saw did not have a bar across the V. But I must admit the feather orientation does make more sense that way. Still a little confused

 

The "bar" is dot dot dot dash. V, for Victory.

 

Now that's interesting! OK, no longer confused. Thanks a million for clarifying for me - much appreciated!

 

Just one more question - do you think that this is WWI or WWII?

 

Just looked around - I guess that the Morse code for Victory was a WW2 thing

 

Well done, all of you!

 

Wings Ebay-$55 OBO (listed as 'pot metal').
PS-Doubt if this will bring even close to $55,but who knows-Ebay is a realm of strange occurrences.

 

Yep...you can say that again, Bosko!

 

Another way to know which way is up on a pin or brooch is by the orientation of the hinge & clasp. They are almost always made for the right handed, so that when you look at the back, right way up is with the hinge on the right & the clasp on the left.

 

It's a Victory pin. Most are WWII. I collect these when I find them, which isn't often any more.

 

Good catch on the Morse Code.
