MYSTERY SOLVED!!

 

Email to Alaskan Gal:

 

Nancy,

I have just returned from an 80 mile round trip to Cheltenham and the BBC Antiques Roadshow.

It was worth every mile as I have solved the mystery of the pouch. It contained a mirror for the use by a lady in her handbag. It was known as a "sweetheart souvenir" and the non-official RAF Crest on it was used at the time of WWII on various items like makeup compacts, lipsticks, brooches etc. sold by commercial enterprises.

I am so pleased to be able to let you know what the Militaria expert said - so now we know. I hope it may give you an idea of why it was in your dad's trunk, do you think so ?

Colin.
