This beautiful silver WW2 RAF Sweetheart Brooch is a perfect addition to any militaria collection. Set beneath a blue enamel bow, bearing the 'RAF' monogram, surrounded by a laurel wreath from which extend a pair of outstretched wings, the wreath surmounted by the King's crown with gold enamel cap. Pin-back fitting to reverse.
The brooch features the iconic RAF symbol and is a great representation of the Air Force's contribution during World War II. It is a stunning example of a sweetheart brooch, which was commonly worn by wives and sweethearts of servicemen to show their support and affection for their loved ones.
Issued during the 1914-1945 era, this brooch is a rare and unique piece. Its classic design and well-preserved condition make it a valuable addition to any collection or a perfect gift for a history enthusiast. This brooch is a must-have for anyone interested in militaria and the air force.
The safety chain was sympathetically added more recently in order to safeguard it when worn to events.
