RAF Button - if only it could talk!
Here's a reminder to us all about recording the history (if known) of our items.
I bought this several years ago in an antique shop with no story to it! The little bit of paper is inscribed 'This one saved my life ##### 1942'. I can't decipher where!!!! It looks like Muscat, but I'm not sure.

wow very interesting piece, it must deflect a bullet or something, but we can only wonder what truly happened!
all the best,

Looks like that puppy caught a fragment of FLAK over the target area. Probably did save this chaps life.
Very interesting piece.
Re: RAF Button - if only it could talk!
It certainly catches the imagination and has a real charm.

Interesting item and very well worn before it was damaged.
Does it say March 1942? Probably not but worth a guess.
