19 Royal Flying Corps and early RAF wings, along with an exceptionally nice RFC chocolate bronze officer's cap badge, 2 enameled RFC sweetheart badges, and an RFC officer's peaked cap badge. The wings include 3 pair of different bullion embroidered RFC wings: one outlined in white thread, one with curved, dropping wings, and another that is more conventional, a very early pair of RAF dress wings on RAF blue wool material, and others clearly removed from uniforms. The peaked cap badge shows obvious wear and a little fading. Several of the wings show minor stains.
Processing and shipping within the continental U.S. $ 48.00 plus 1.5% replacement and insurance. Please note we do not accept credit cards.
4 of the early wings are tarnished. Several wings have minor edge irregularities where they were removed from uniforms, and minor stains from age and wear. Generally Very good to excellent.
