About this item
An original WW2 RAF Ordinary Airman's Forage Cap which is a scarce private purchase example and dates from the Second World War.
These caps came into issue with the RAF shortly before the Second World War and were worn by all airmen of the rank of Flight Sergeant and below. It is now an iconic piece of wartime RAF clothing synonymous with both Sergeant Aircrew and ground crew alike. This example was commercially made, rather than issued. It is made from a notably different type of wool serge to issue examples and features a civilian style size label to the interior.
The hat features a brass Kings crown cap badge and two brass Kings crown buttons to the front as was standard at the beginning of WW2 and make it ideal for someone looking for an early example. The interior is fully lined and the size label states that the cap is a size 6 3/4.
The condition of the cap is good as can be seen in the photographs. It shows no real signs of wear or age. Overall it displays well but please take time to study the pictures.
A rare wartime commercial version of this RAF hat which would make a nice addition to a Second World War RAF collection.
This is a vintage item which is 'sold as seen'
