Title Pair of Royal Flying Corps shoulder flashes
Nationality British
Period c 1914-17
Sold

These were introduced by Army Order 378 of November 1913 for NCOs and ORs, normally worn stitched to the shoulder of the wrapover tunic. They were discontinued in 1918 with the start of the RAF. There was a later pattern with sans serif lettering.

This pair shows minor age staining, one of them having a small moth hole. They have been cut from a tunic, complete with khaki cloth surround. At some point they have been glued to a board for display purposes.

Wanted to let you know the items arrived today. Great job on the packing. Too often I buy very expensive and irreplaceable items from the UK and they get sent barely packed to protect them from the various postal services - appreciate you going the extra mile to insure it arrived in the shape it left. Thanks again, look forward to doing business with you in the future. Items were very nice, exactly as offered.
