Hello Gent's,

my friends gran died recently, when he cleared out her attic he found his great grandads service medals, his grandads and his grans all of who served in the RAF in addition to this he found an MBE... it is in mint condition in its original case which is unmarked and still in its own protective cardboard carton, it was awarded to a woman pilot called G. Hume, inside the case is the letter from Buckingham Palace signed by George R which congratulates her and expresses regret at not being able to present it in person, there is a letter from the Air Ministry congratulating her, i couldnt make out the signature, various telegrams of congratulations and newspaper cuttings with a photograph of her in uniform saying about the award being awarded in the new years honours list 1945, he intends to keep the family medals but is considiering selling the MBE, i told him that it was an important and interesting thing and that i would try and find out a ball park figure for him, it really is a nice set , i'm working for him next tuesday and he's agreed to let me photograph the whole group to post it here.

so, does anyone have a rough price guide for the MBE?

Thanks for any help.

Col.

forgot to say, on the case lid it say's MBE (MILY)

hello gents,

please can somebody tell me what this was awarded for ?

thanks for any help.

I would say it is pre 36, being as it has a motto, no ricasso and no RZM stamp.

OOPS, misspelled authenticity. I have been writing for close to fifty years now, hard to believe I can still make a spelling mistake.

Pardon,

Subtle..... and very apropriate.

my own opinion is that i think that these existed in the early TR era, the problem with them is proving that the one you own is actually an original one, because they are so easy to reproduce.

Merry Christmas.

Col.

Cant wait for that one...

Thanks again.

Thanks Eduardo.

Worked out the size thing, here it is.

Col.

the belt.....again i am having problems attatching the next picture.

Hello Gent's.

can anyone tell me what this marking is, it is hand inked on a KM belt under the flap at the cacth end, is it a mans service number?

thanks.

Col.

acceptance mark,

i seem to be having trouble posting further pics of this tin, the top is marked DRAEGER.

thanks again.

Col.

Hello Gentlemen,

Can anyone tell me anything about this, i presume it is a gasmask container of some sort, unfortionatley it is empty, the property mark is in the bottom of it,

thanks for any info.

Regards.

Col.

Only a newbie chipping in his 2 cents......but shouldn't the boat in the Aux Cruiser be the same finish as the wreath and also the globe colour seems strange, like the badge has been re-finished.

Colin.

Gordon,

Thanks very much for taking the time to post such an informative response to my original question, armed with this excellent reference, i feel sure that i will be able to now aquire a geniune ww2 period example of one of these caps...........( that is of course if one comes up for sale !!!! )

Thanks again and best regards.

Col.

Thanks very much to you all for your replies, it's a shame because it made a good focal point for my fledgling KM collection........oh well, the hunt goes on.

Colin.

and the last one for now, if you need any pictures of any particular areas please just say,

the stiffening band is a card type material if that helps.

thanks for your time.

Colin O.

Hello Gents,

I would be very grateful if you would have a look at this cap and tell me what you think, is it a good one? i'm considering it in an exchange deal.....depending on what you guy's think.

Many thanks.
