Item History
- Formation: The Royal Air Force was officially formed on 1 April 1918 by merging the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS).
- Historical Significance: This specific cap badge style represents the very first official metal insignia issued to the newly formed service’s airmen at the tail end of World War I.
- Rarity: True WW1 period brass variants featuring this exact twin-lug configuration are highly prized, as they were only produced for a brief period before post-war manufacturing modifications took over in the 1920s.
