'sealed pattern' RWAFF button
Hi Gents,
I don't normally go for items like this but this one peeked my interest and looked okay - besides it was just a few bob, so worth taking a chance on, assuming it is genuine? It's a small horn RWAFF button. A 'sealed pattern' with two cloth documents and wax seal. It looks good to me but what do I know. Assuming it is totally correct and okay (thoughts?), I thought it was an interesting piece of history. Cheerio, Roy

Good Morning Gents,
Thank you all so very much for your comments and confirmation. I have always shied away from such documented/sealed purchases but this was just had a good look to it, so I'm pleased my gut instinct working out this time. Not the normal think I collect but it is great fun to have a piece of history like this and read period details. Cheers, Roy
