HERE IS AN EARLY WW2 RAF OFFICER\'S TUNIC FOR FLIGHT LIEUT. FROM THE VOLUNTEER RESERVE. HAS PADDED FLIGHT WINGS AND DFC RIBBON. COAT HAS BEEN SCANNED WITH BLACK LIGHT AND ALL IS \"NO GLOW\". LAPELS HAVE BRASS \"VR\" INSIGNIA FOR VOLUNTEER RESERVE. THESE ARE ORIGINAL WITH PIN REMOVAL UNDER LAPEL. THE VOLUNTEER INSIGNIA WAS ORDERED REMOVED LATER DURING THE WAR. UNIFORM SHOWS KINGS CROWN THROUGHOUT. FULLY LINED. THERE ARE NO MARKINGS REGARDING NAME OR MANUFACTURER, BUT YOU CAN SEE WHERE A LAPEL WAS REMOVED FROM AN INSIDE POCKET.I WOULD ESTIMATE SIZE TO BE ABOUT A U.S. 37. THERE IS ONE MOTH NIP IN CENTER OF COLLAR IN REAR. THERE ARE SOME SIZEABLE STAINS ON ONE POCKET AS I HAVE TRIED TO SHOW IN PICTURE. THEY LOOK LIKE PERIOD OIL STAINS, WHICH WOULD NOT BE UNUSUAL SINCE THESE UNIFORMS WERE SOMETIMES USED IN FLYING MISSIONS. WHETHER THE STAINS CAN BE REMOVED OR NOT IS NOT KNOWN, BUT ACTUALLY LEND SOME \"SALT\" TO THE TUNIC.
I HAVE HAD THIS UNIFORM COAT FOR OVER 30 YEARS, AND NOW LIQUIDATING THE UNIFORMS THAT I HAVE TO MOVE INTO OTHER HOBBIES. THIS ONE IS GOING UP FOR sale. GRAB A PIECE OF WW2 HISTORY.
