Original WW2 RAF Officers Great Coat Rank Boards - Flying Officer
SOLD
Code: 50667
An original pair of WW2 era Flying Officers greatcoat shoulder boards in good condition.
In the immediate post-war years the pattern of RAF officers greatcoat changed and had fixed epaulettes rather than the removable style offered here, making these a specific wartime item.
The condition of the pair is good and they are well matched. The rank braid on each matches well in colour and they certainly look to have always been a pair. Brass kings crown buttons feature on each but interestingly have a different fixture to the rear. It is important to remember that not everything which was a pair was perfectly matched during the war!
Overall a nicely matched pair of Second World War Officers greatcoat epaulettes.
