hi Chris no date stamp or arrow, but the gas mask and sheepskin helmet all came in the same box from the same house, unfortunately it was a deceased estate so no one to ask questions, but the three items are linked, have you noticed the name wilbur Wright -369- in the ear piece , could that be the pilot and squadron ? Cheers 

thanks Chris , I think you are right having looked at it now with your comments I think it's a marriage , cheers

I would like to say thanks for all you help in advance

Hi as you have guessed I purchased a few items last week and being new to collecting am seeking some help to point me in the right direction for research , I do hope you don't mind me posting all my items, 

this is is a sheepskin flying hat, I think it might be USA in origins , any help gladly received 

Thanks , when you say post ww2 do you mean recent fake ? I am normally a bit weary of fakes, the ware is quite authentic as the engraving is almost worn away on the base, but I know that could have been done to deceive. Cheers 

Thanks guys I think you right, it's properly a fake, I only paid £2 for it so no lose :-)

Hi I purchased this cap in Cornwall last week and I'm looking for help identifing, age and regiment etc any info welcome, the cap is in resonble condition with some sticking in the interior undone, it has a leather strip inside with " roam leather" stamped into it. Also there is a name and number written in pen on the inside of the leather, there seems to be a waterproof interior as well, will add photo of the name cheers all

Hi I have purchased this item today, brass and bakalite , there is an engraving on the base but it is worn so unreadable, there is still snuff inside, has anyone come across an item like this, if so would anyone have any info, many thanks in advance

Hi Again, I was wondering if anyone is able to offer suggestions to which uniform this may be on a bronze tray/pipe rest I have purchased, I’m thinking German WW1, If anyone has any ideas I will be very grateful, unfortunately the casting is poor so not much detail, but its a little bit saucy whis makes it a fun item, 

Cheers and Thanks kindly in advance.

Avatar picture just for you lol

Having dug deep, one meaning for R.V.P might mean "Rift Valley Province" This would tie in with the lion, from what little I’ve read so far, British military rule started in 1895 in the Rift Valley Province.

Will do further research, even if it’s a red herring its interesting stuff lol

I was thinking it could stand for reserve v. p. ?? or the p could stand for Pilot, belive me ive racked my brains lol, thanks for all the help
