WW2 Royal New Zealand Air Force Cap Badge and Buttons

This item is a set comprising an original World War II-era cap badge and two uniform buttons from the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF). The cap badge is typically constructed from brass and features the RNZAF emblem, which usually includes a stylized eagle or wings, surmounted by a crown, and encircled by a laurel wreath. The two accompanying buttons are made from metal and bear the official insignia associated with RNZAF uniforms of the period. Such badges and buttons were standard issue for personnel and would have been displayed on service dress caps and tunics throughout the war. The design and materials reflect the adaptation of Commonwealth military insignia to New Zealand’s air force identity during the 1939–1945 conflict. Items like these are of interest for their historical association with New Zealand’s participation in Allied air operations during the Second World War. Condition and markings may vary based on use and age.
