Description

ORIGINAL
WW2 British RAF Pilot's Patch
Out of my personal militaria collection I present to you a
rare original
WW2 RAF Pilot's patch
. Purchased about 30 years ago from a militaria dealer at a show and left it as-is ever since. You can se what I paid for it then. Kissing this goodbye along with my pipe dream of ever setting up a WW2 aviation display. Measures 4 3/4 inches across. A great add to any collection of British WWII militaria or aviation insignia.

About Me
I have been collecting art and artifacts for over 35 years. I long ago learned that artifacts aren't merely things, but tangible time machines that transport us to another time, place, and culture. This lesson was imparted by my grandparents, who lived and worked in Africa and the Middle East in the decades following WW2. I was blessed to grow up around art and artifacts from a myriad of different cultures. I consider myself to be an "encyclopedic collector," with a focus on breadth over depth. While we all have a unique history, these artifacts represent the journey we have collectively taken together over the past 10,000 years - our Earth - Nostra Terra.
While we are grateful not to have lost any family, the pandemic has cost my wife her career and me my business. We now find ourselves in a need to proverbially pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps. So I now find myself needing to release some of these objets d'art back into the wild. Some of these have been in the family for three generations, some for two. And many I have acquired over the past 35 years myself.  Whatever it is you end up with, I sincerely hope it brings you the same joy it has brought me for so many years. Cheers.
