I would say post war too due to the clutch pin fasteners and the type of finish.

Cheers, Ade.

60s 70s era the GI mark is commonly found on insignia produced during the Vietnam war and later

The maker is 'Bell Trading Post' - It is indeed a modern/recent wing.........

According to my very good friend John V, who has forgotten more about wings, than I will ever know:
"Post WWII pre-1961, really post Korean War Era, as it doesn’t have the Institute of Heraldry Marks, which is a Letter and a one or two number designation.
The G.I. stands for Government Inspected, the “Sign Post”, is attributed to “Bell Trading Company."
Thanks, John.
