Royal Air Force (RAF) Gilt and Enamel Lapel Badge – King’s Crown

Royal Air Force (RAF) gilt and enamel lapel badge, featuring the distinctive RAF eagle beneath the King’s Crown. Modern-made in gilt-coloured metal with enamel detailing, this attractive RAF badge is suitable for collectors of British military insignia, Royal Air Force memorabilia, and modern military badges.

The Royal Air Force was established in 1918 through the amalgamation of the Royal Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Service. The RAF eagle became one of the service’s most recognisable forms of insignia and has been used in a variety of official and unofficial badge designs.

The King’s Crown identifies the design with the period of King George VI, 1936–1952 or equally for Charles III following his coronation in 2023. The combination of gilt-coloured metal and enamel provides an attractive presentation suitable for wear or display.

This example is modern-made, rather than being an original wartime-period badge. It is nevertheless a well-made example of the King’s Crown RAF pattern and is suitable for collectors who wish to add a modern example of RAF insignia to their collection.

An attractive addition to any collection of Royal Air Force insignia, RAF badges, King’s Crown military badges, British military memorabilia, or modern British military accoutrements.
