    Recommended Posts

    Second a First World War Officers Service cap for the Canadian Medical Corps a couple of names written on the interior leather sweat band but i can't make them out. Decent shape with no mothing just a slightly wonky brim (but i think that can be worked out)

    No.6

    A real gem in this lot a complete ww2 RAF officers uniform. What makes this uniform very very rare is that it is badged to an Eagle Squadron Pilot. There was only 244 pilots in the Eagle squadrons who would have worn these patches and these uniforms seldom come onto the market. The cap is named to a Pilot Officer Care. Prelim research pulls up one Eagle squadron pilot with that last name. Raymond C Care flew with 71 Squadron 1941-43and was transfered to the USAAF in 1943. In 1944 he was shot down by flak and taken POW. By that time he had 6 confirmed kills and one probable.

    Must be one of the largest single lots of uniform and headdress that I have seen for some time. You did

    very well and should certainly recover your outlay from the items you are going to sell. The Eagle Sqd. will,

    I am sure, attract attention. Mervyn

    Thanks for all the great comments gents. I was quite surprised when all this was listed in a single lot. It's my hope by selling the "rejects" i'll be able to make back my outlay and keep the rest in the collection.

    The RNWMP tunic didnt come with the sam browne but i'm sure i have an early ww1 sam browne that would look great on it in the storage room at home.

    There is a big show the Easter long weekend that i will be taking some of the "rejects" to in hopes of making some trades/cash. Otherwise i hope to sell on the forum or privately and avoid ebay at all cost.

    Cheers

    Chris
