6 Attachment(s)
hi all
i have some questions i would like some help with. firstly in pic 1&2) it looks to be an unfinished RAF buckle? pic 3&4) aiguillette of the RAF/RAAF? well it was supposed to be? but why would it have italian army motifs on it? pic 5&6) is this a genuine RAAF wing? WW2? thanks in advance bc |
I think it can be said with a degree certainty that the aiguillette is not RAF and the wing is completely spurious.

thanks frank
what i thought but better to check than be sorry bc |
Hi BC, the first image with the albatross and crown is actually the central motif of a RAF officers sword guard. It would have been trimmed then inset into the guard. If you Google it, you will find multiple images.
Cheers, Greg |
thanks Greg
it looks like your correct. thanks again bc |
