They come from a variety of makers. The most common one by far is Amico . I also own some made by NS Meyer and Gemsco . I have never seen a Balfour pair. I bought an Aircrew wing made by H&H ( fairly scarce ) with the guys leather flight jacket nametag on Ebay today for $40 . I would expect to pay @ $30 for an average pair.

pfrost Posted November 21, 2007 Share #4 Posted November 21, 2007 AMICO, Vanguard, H&H, NS Meyers, Gemsco, are all more common makers of these wings. Like Kurt said, about 30-40$ for a nice sterling pin back wing would be fair, IMO. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
