Circa 1943 Royal Air Force (RAF) Pilot Gloves

This is a pair of British World War II Royal Air Force pilot gloves. The size is 8 and the gloves are dated 1943.

Circa 1943.

Approximately 13" by 7 ".

Leather, thread, elastic.

None.

The gloves both have a square with the markings: Y S O (or C), 1943, and 8 , and the right glove has one more marking Ð please refer to images below.

This is from a large collection of Great Britain and Commonwealth items which we will be listing more of over the next months. VAJJX02 LBEJX SBEJX5/13

7+ (Very Fine+) The gloves are in a generally good condition, but the seam has gone up along the little finger-side wrist on the right hand Ð please refer to the images below. This could possibly be repaired, but I have decided to leave that up to my discerning customer.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
