British Cape of Insignia?
So I got this cape from this old British lady who my grandmother was taking care of. Her after was in the RAF, and she married a US soldier. I am guessing this is her father's cape, it's covered in all kinds of insignia. I am hoping someone can shed some like onto what this elderly lady had given to me.
I think you will find it is a Nurse's cape.
This was a very popular practise.
Great item!
Looking at some of the badges this one will date from the early 1950's.

Very nice to get a Nurses cape as a gift with all the badges, some might be late forties and on into the fifties.

I would estimate a value for £200 to £300.
Dealers often buy them and then strip them out....

A similar item here:
ATS group with insignia sewn to scarf.
It was very popular for female servicewomen to collect badges and sew them to jackets, capes, scarves, etc.
