Liquidating the estate of a local closet collector, so watch this space. This is a really nice silk aviator or sweetheart scarf with beautiful theater made hand-embroidered 5th Air Force and 345th Bomb Group and Squadron Patches.
Ecru-colored silk scarf measures 6 3/4" wide x 63" tall (including the red/white/blue fringe).
The 345th Bombardment Group patch is 4 5/8" wide x 4 7/8" tall. The 5th Air Force patch is 5 1/4" diameter. The patches are hand embroidered on a ribbed backing. They are an integral part of the scarf, and can not be removed without taking the scarf apart. It looks like possibly they are even directly embroidered into the silk of the scarf.
I would rate the scarf and patches as excellent plus. Everything is absolutely dead under a strong UV mineral light.
