Talking 1942 RAF POLISH TUNIC

Hi guys just thought I would show of my latest tunic which I found to day on my travels !! It does have a o code for 1942 under the pocket flap and a nice early war lable to the inside there are slight signs of somthing being worn on the pocket area of the tunic see pics
I will be keeping this one for a bit as they are still sorting out the chaps house and may have some more bits of his and I should get a name soon for it which would make my day thanks for looking Steve

Shame about the cap badge Steve, it has probably been handled and polished a bit too much. But the tunic is very nice.

Interesting it has NCO rank but officer titles. Not the strictest of rules but unusual.
