It looks like the cap is postwar (Queen's crown) -- though it looks old, so it might be a WW2 cap with QC upgrade.
The value of these types of caps is usually not commensurate with their scarcity, I have found. I think I saw a similar postwar high-ranking RAF cap go for $300-$400 or so, but I could be way off here.

It looks like the RAF wings on the tunic are King's crown -- am I wrong?

Sorry to sought of hijack the thread but would this be worth 140 pounds?

Thanks for any advice

Kindest Regards

Interesting info! This is a bit off the side of what i usual collect, so i am happy for all news. Didnt even think about "queen" and "kings crown on this one. But after Your opinions i learn more. I think maby this one is oppgraded with time?
Here is some more pic. to those who find it interesting! The scan came with it, so thats the only connection i have to the "owner".Looks as he got some high decorations too! Happy collecting! Regards norge

could someone name the awards?

Norge,
Glad to see the Kings Crown RAF wings and buttons -- if it came with the cap, then I think the cap may be QC upgrade. Nice set. Unfortunately I don't know my medals so much, but the bloke looks pretty decorated!

Jason,
That is a beautiful cap!
