1944 WWII Royal Air Force RAF Officer’s Peaked Cap / Hat & Economy Pattern Badge

Posted on January 8, 2020 by admin Posted in wwii

WWI / Inter War Royal Air Force Officer’s cap. No visible makers marks as it is too faded / soiled from wear. It is Crows foot marked with the letter M above and the number 789 (I think) on the underside of the leather sweatband. King’s crown 1918 1st pattern, solid form Officer’s cap badge. A pair of vent holes to both sides. Quilted diamond shape lining which is indicative of WWI period caps but it could be Inter War. It has a green visor on the underside, albeit very dirty. This fits me comfortably and I measure a 56cm, it would probably fit up to a size 57cm too. Late WWI Royal Air Force RAF Officer’s Peaked Cap / Hat & 1918 1st Pattern Badge. WWII Royal Air Force RAF Officer’s Peaked Cap / Hat & Economy Pattern Badge. WWII Royal Air Force Officer’s cap. It is War Department Crows foot marked with the letter M above and the number 789 (I think) on the underside of the leather sweatband. This would date it 1944 according to WWII War Department dates. King’s crown economy pattern, solid form Officer’s cap badge. Quilted diamond shape lining which is indicative of earlier period caps but Officer’s issue caps carried over earlier patterns. I would describe this as in good condition considering age. The cloth is free from moth damage but is dirty. You can see where the chin strap has been lying across the peak. The chin stay is too big and can’t be adjusted as someone has put a stitch in it so you can’t adjust the slider. You could possibly cut it down to fit or replace it. One of the side buttons is missing. Payments should be received within 3 days of invoice please. Payments via e-cheque will be despatched on clearance.
