RAF Airman Service Dress Peaked Cap, Queen's Crown, Size 58

A Royal Air Force airman's service dress peaked cap in RAF blue-grey wool, with a black mohair-effect band and a black patent peak.

The front carries an embroidered RAF cap badge in gold wire: the RAF monogram within a laurel wreath, beneath a Queen's (St Edward's) crown in coloured thread, on a black backing. The crown dates the cap to the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, and the issue label suggests the later 20th century. The cap has a black patent chinstrap with a sliding buckle and black side buttons.

Inside is a tan sweatband with a white ribbon bow, a grey satin-finish lining and a green underside to the peak. The original printed issue label reads "Cap Service Dress RAF Airman", with NATO stock number 8405-99-122-4659, size 58 and contract number CT2A/3341.

Size: 58 (approx. UK 7 1/8)
Material: wool, with patent peak and chinstrap
Era: Queen Elizabeth II, later 20th century

Condition: Good used condition. The badge is bright and intact. There are light marks to the lining, toning to the label, some small marks to the crown near the rear edge and light wear to the peak, consistent with issue and use. Please see photographs.
