    Hi Guys,
    Just picked up this nice set of wings . From what I can see they are very similar to other examples on the forum, the embroidery is very neat & appears to be silk (has a nice sheen to it), the reverse has what appears to be a paper backing on it, which is showing it's age & I would say that it's been worn at some point (remains of attaching thread). The seller identified this example as being Pre War, due to the embroidery style. There is no reaction under UV light & measurements are as follows
    Wing tip to Wing tip 104mm
    Top of Crown to Bottom of Wreath 35mm
    Regards
    Paul
