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.

testimonials

My order arrived this morning, thanks for the prompt delivery.

Two excellent original pieces, I must say.

Buckle is in minty condition retaining so much detail esp plummage on eagle's neck and chest, like to see those 'creases' on the legs also... a beautiful example of an early O&C buckle.

Belt is very interesting, rather thin, CROUPON stamped and also behind the tongue...maybe Allegmeine but no SS markings as you state. Beautiful piece none the less.

Thanks for a speedy transaction Chris, I am very happy with my purchase :)
