Default Southern RHODESIAN AF HALF BREVETS
Picked these up a while ago and can never get a straight answer on them.Are they fantasy ,ww2 or post war? Even in the book EAGLES RECALLED on page 208 the author asks about brevets /wings with lions above instead of crowns.If you notice the top badge has been removed off uniform .

Not my field so I don't know if they're genuine. If they are they're rare. Sending the photos to someone who will know.

RRAF WWII wings have been faked by a well known dealer & eBay dealer in the UK and sold for hundreds of pounds. Glad that you reminded me so that I can put the info up on my website and expose another rat.

Sadly these are not genuine but created by a rogue who sells under a couple of names on Ebay.A few collectors were duped by these,he converted British wings to look Rhodesian by adding the lion and tusk.
