Looks good to me too. Don't know what you paid for it but I've seen them on sale for a least 65 pounds, often more.

Standard RAF pilots wings tend to go for £25.00 to about £40.00.

These ones are theatre made, that is hand made probably in Africa or Asia, and available from local tailors. A nice set. The theatre made wings tend to fetch more like £40.00 to about £70.00.

I fear £25 is just a little bit light to be quite honest, I would think £45 is entry level these days!
