WW2 RCAF pilots wings
A survivor from the war years. Came to me with other wartime 'survivors'.

It looks like the moths left a few partial threads of the wool on the front?

Don't often see the summer dress badges. I don't think I have ever seen the wings before.

Thats a tough looking one...... At least now it's being cared for!

To tell the truth it appears like a 'desert wing', embroidered straight onto khaki. But this would be fanciful, no?

Definitely fanciful, it was a sit down dinner for moth larvae.... tragic

Apparently gourmets are not limited to the human race. This particular species was very discerning and seems to have had a partiality to wool/felt while snubbing silk/thread.
An eye opener to collectors. GTB |
