RNZAF pilot wing - padded/tropical

SOLD

Code: U23094



Excellent heavily padded Royal New Zealand Air Force pilot wing in off-white cotton thread on black felt.  Fine black hessian/cotton backing.  Three small press studs have been stitched to the rear to allow the wing to be attached and removed from a uniform easily.  This was often done with wings & insignia used on tropical uniforms that required frequent laundering.  This example also appears to have been sewn to a uniform at some stage as can be seen with the loose threads at the edges.  Very good condition.  A desirable wing.  Stock code U23094.
