Title Royal Flying Corps car badge
Nationality British
Period c 1953
Price £40.00

This badge is die-struck brass with a chrome and enamel finish. The crown on the badge itself is a Queen Elizabeth II variety and the RFC badge in the centre is a 1914-18 badge which has been chromed and two screw lugs fitted to the reverse. The enamel colours are those of the RAF.

The owner of this badge (H. Colby - I bought this from the family and also have his 'Air Board Technical Notes' for the RFC), who served in the RFC, was obviously very proud of his early service and had his early badge chromed up to match the later RAF badge, replacing the RAF centrepiece with the RFC one.

The enamel is in good shape and the chrome shows some age spotting, especially on the reverse.
