Hi - curious found this in old chocolates box with a few sewing items. I know its not of value unless its '50s same as the chocs box... looks like a scout or guide band worn on the top of your arm....anyone recognise it?

Hi onekiwi0,
It is an RAAF Leading Aircraftman cloth patch, World War II
I have a jacket here and the patch is sewn on the sleeves (just above the elbows)
Good reference site here:

Try Googling ...
'Original WW2 RAF cloth badge depicting a single propeller, the badge is in good uniform removed condition'
Appears to be quite similar.
Cheers, M.

wow yes it does look similar - the cloth of mine is black and the propellor is blue, but certainly more interesting that a guide badge! (there were also two black buttons with 4 holes in them.. looks like they could have come off a coat - but likely unrelated) thank you
