Sorry about that .

Certainly an RAF junior officer's cap, with the Georgian crown, so it could be of WWII vintage. Interior photos would help.
Does the insignia look original?

As the others have already stated, a WWII RAF Officers peaked cap. Looks nice.

As per the printed interior, the service dress cap shown was made by Fulcher's of 21 Saville Row, London - an RAF approved outfitters and uniform suppliers. As such I would say it is a good quality WW2 era item of headware.

Now, my sources seem to show only one RAF officer of the WW2 era fitting the naming D. B. Gray - Sqn Ldr David Benjamin Gray OBE MC, formerly a Lt Col with the Indian Army and ex-RFC. He transferred to the RAF in 1939 after he retired from the Indian Army and finally retired from the RAF in 1942 - having originally been commissioned to the forces in 1903! That's some span of career.

At the moment I don't have to hand the details of his MC award but it looks like it may well be an inter-wars award, which would be quite interesting and rare.

I cannot state that this is absolutely the chap who owned this hat, but I am 99% certain. I have a picture of him in his WW1 RFC uniform.......but not sure how to post it here.
