Title Royal Australian Air Force pilot's wings, full size
Nationality Australian
Period c 1940
Sold

Nice pair of cotton wings with improvised quick detachment pin to the reverse, probably to wear on a tropical service tunic. Australian air force wings are relatively scarce, in the UK at least. Note the king's crown device at the centre, dating the badge as pre-1953.

Safely received in post today, and pleased with the items.

Thank-you for easy transaction and prompt despatch.

Hanger arrived safe and sound 11.30ish today. Very pleased, it's as expected. Your excellent pics make all the difference in terms of confident buying over the net. As a matter of interest, the frog, which as you said is very a/f, is, as you thought, 'spot on'. On closer inspection it is a mk.1 Naval Frog, designated 'for cutlasses'. Date seems around 1860ish give or take.

By the way, I think your site is very user friendly. Seems to work much better than many and up to date, a rarity!!!
