WW2 Canadian RCAF Leather Wallet

The WW2 Canadian RCAF Leather Wallet is an original artifact issued to members of the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War. Constructed from brown leather, this wallet features practical compartments for holding currency, identification, and other personal documents. The exterior often bears embossed RCAF insignia or initials, reflecting official military issue. These wallets were standard personal accessories, carried by airmen throughout the war, both at home and overseas. The design is utilitarian, with reinforced stitching and a practical fold-over closure. The wallet’s compact size made it suitable for daily use and easy storage in uniform pockets. As a contemporary artifact, it offers insight into the material culture and personal gear of Canadian air force personnel during the 1939–1945 period. This wallet is a representative example of mid-20th-century military-issue personal effects from the RCAF.
