Pair of WW2 1st Anti Aircraft Division Cloth Badges

The sword was taken from the arms of the City of London. This was the first Anti-Aircraft Division and was raised in 1935, composed originally of Territorials from London and the Home Counties; in 1938 it became a purely London Territorial formation. An earlier pattern of this badge had a kahki background. Many surviving examples seem to have faded to grey. A good true pair of period patches in fair condition, a number of holes on the grey felt, signs of age and use and they measure just over 3 inches long.
