A first on eBay? 1921 Balloon Observer wing

[CliffP]

:think:

 

I've received an unusual number of inquiries about a U. S. AIR CORPS WW II STERLING WING listed on eBay... but in reality it's an unofficial badge worn only by a few Balloon Observers who were trained at Scott Field, Illinois, in 1921. While it closely resembles a similar looking silver badge made during WWI, this particular duel-wing badge was only produced for a short time in 1921 before it was soon realized that the stylized letters "US" in the center shield did not meet current War Department regulations. Good luck to the winner.
