Banging in the New Year. Had the opportunity many years ago, when in the UK, to pick this one up at a local antique show. A 1941 dated RAF drum. Sadly, the design is a transfer and not painted (although the borders are painted), but still makes a great appearance and with a piece of glass on top serves as a fine table in the den. 

Wow, that´s a killer drum, the coat of arms decal is awesome! Thanks very much for sharing, Dirk!

Great drum. Rich A. in Pa.
