Hungary - 60s - 70s Air Force collection

[AlexK]

Good evening,

 

This is my first post in this forum.

 

I recently inherited some items from a friend of the family in Hungary.

 

He had been a fighter pilot in the Hungarian air force during the 60s and 70s. His last flight was in 1981.

 

The collection covers a complete pilot helmet, jump suit, several daggers, wings, a medal, pins and a watch.

 

 

 

 

As I'm very new to this, perhaps there are people who know more about the rarity of these items?

 

Thanks in advance for your replies.

 

Best Regards,

 

Alex

Regarding the watch, I found info that it was used by the Hungarian Air Force. The serial number dates it to 1968.

one of the daggers were given to him after serving in Poland. I guess that must be the one with the red/white emblem.

 

The gold coloured one he must have received after his 50th birthday. That year he had his last flight (1981).

 

I noticed in earlier posts that it is uncommon for Hungarian daggers to be inscripted with serial numbers or text. however, that must have been different in the 60s-70s.

 

All 3 daggers have a serialnr or text inscription.

 

Is there anyone who knows more about this?

 

 

 

A closer look on the inscription of the 1981 dagger.
