Title Royal Flying Corps buttons (13)
Nationality British
Period c 1914-17
Sold

These are officer's buttons, the large ones marked 'Firmin & Sons London', with traces of gilt to the reverse. There are four large and nine small ones. The RFC (1912-18) was the forerunner of the RAF and was part of the British Army untill April 1918. I believe the ORs had the general service button on their tunics (with the Royal Arms).

The condition is good, but the gilt on the front has mostly been polished out, leaving clear traces to the rear of most of the buttons.

Bayonet arrived safe + sound this AM Sat. Special delivery excellent again. Worth the few extra bob. To be honest it was better than I dared hope. I usually avoid polished bits like the plague!! Your price was a bit fierce!! - but a great marking I lacked... Please email me anytime you have anything that might be of interest.
