Remembered Today:

RFC cap badge

A definite original. Apparently these were shaped by personnel using the end of a broomstick. Lots of repros around but this is a family piece and belonged to an RFC man in 37 HD Squadron at Stow Maries..

One of the big giveaways with these that marks them out as a repro is the presence of a ‘Bridge’ between the top of the ‘f’ and the bottom of the crown.

No, so that makes yours a good one rather than a repro , if you see what I mean.

 

lovely item, and lovely it’s accredited to an individual as well :)
