My wife's grandfather shortly after the declaration of war in 1939. No idea how long they continued to wear brass insignia on their battle dress.

Edmonton Regiment gilded cap and collar

A couple of recent finds that I don't think are too common. Would these have been private purchase?

Padded pilot's wings

Would anyone care to comment on the vintage of these wings I found today? They clearly have been removed from a uniform and are quite heavily padded.
