I am ex RAF and that button is a Kings Head badge as opposed to the later Queens Head type, difference is in the shape of the crown, nice finds, love the bird, rest looks like victorian furniture attachments, well done, Liam B-)

In one way this is a rare find here in wales as very little happened in this area during the ww2, thanks you've made my day :)
