Enamel Royal Air Force Cufflinks. Unused. 1940s
SOLD
Nice set of enamelled Royal Air Force cufflinks produced by the quality English manufacturer, "Lambournes". Most likely dating from the 1940's.
These gilded cufflinks are decorated with the image of a pair of RAF pilot's wings (with pre 1952 king's crown) and are beautifully enamelled in the service's colours. The backs are stamped with the maker's mark, "L'sB" (Lambournes, Birmingham). Excellent, unused condition. Still attached to their card in the original box.
The Lambournes ‘Sophos’ company was founded by Barrett Lambourne in 1868 producing Spats, Rigid Braces, Buttons and Studs for the gentry, with premises in Great Charles Street, Birmingham. In 1932 the company moved to Great Hampton Row, Birmingham and increased its range of products to include Cuff Links, Collar Studs, Tie Slides, Armbands, Belts, Braces, Garters, Sock Suspenders and Leather Goods. The company was owned and run by the Lambourne family until 1981 when it was taken over by the Arnold Wills Group.
