WW2 British RAF Officers Peaked Cap & RAF Cravat

An excellent quality RAF Officers peaked cap of the very early war period & as would have been worn by RAF pilots during the 1940 Battle of Britain period. Comes with the RAF cravat as seen with it in the website images.
Cap is made from fine blue cloth with a double seamed crown thick quilted interior lining. The black patent leather chinstrap is notably thin in its construction this very typical of early war caps. The gilt & velvet officers insignia to front is in excellent order with fully lined brim to top & underside. The blue quilting to interior is typical of wartime caps with the full leather sweatband bearing the wording ' Real Roan Leather ' . Showing an appealing amount of service wear I can find only one small moth nip to the caps rear hidden under the overhanging cloth & only visible upon close inspection. The RAF cravat sets off the piece nicely this measuring an approx 71cm X 66cm.
