An original 1971 Dated RAF Officers Service Dress tunic made by Burton and complete with an original padded pilots wing.

Above the left breast pocket is a nice original Queens crown padded pilots wing which looks original to the tunic. The cuff features original rank braid which denotes the rank of Flying Officers.
Inside the tunic is a makers label which reads 'Burton Tailored'. Another label is situated inside the inner pocket which is a cutters tag an is dated 17.2.71.
The overall condition of the tunic is good although it does show signs of wear and has a small hole in one the sleeves as shown in the pictures.
All together a nice Jet Age period piece of RAF uniform.
