Can any one identify the beer mug in the picture, i.e era and to whom it was issued.
As per an email I received;
I have a silver beer mug which I inherited from my late father in law who saw service in RAF in Rhodesia during the second world war. It has the coat of arms of the Gold Coast Squadron and inscribed comments from various members of the unit.
Has anyone any idea of the value or knowledge of collectors who may be interested.
IMHO I think it is a pewter mug.

LIke other Squadrons and Units, it was traditional for Squadron members to be presnted with a suitably-inscribed pewter mug when they left and this may be what you have found. (Most of us chipped in a sum each month to cover the cost of "our" mug during our time on the Squadron.)
Is there a date and place on it and does it show to whom the mug was presented?
