GLM Posted January 4, 2008 Share #71 Posted January 4, 2008 Here are a couple Balfour Naval Aviator wings I've had around for awhile. The pin back is another of the earlier posted 1-A marked wings in 1/20th 10K GF from the early 1950's. The clutch back is, I'm sure, a WWII pair of wings. It's simply marked 1/20th 10K GF and BALFOUR. Clutch fasteners are flat face patented. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLM Posted January 4, 2008 Share #72 Posted January 4, 2008 The H&H marked pin back wings belonged to Lt (JG) John R. Germ, USNR who flew TBM's during WWII. This is all the information I have found on him so far. The jewel encrusted USN "Fairy Pilot" wings were sent to his sister during WWII. They are simply marked Sterling on the back.

GLM Posted January 4, 2008 Share #73 Posted January 4, 2008 I started setting the WWII "Issue" or "Graduation" clutch back, sterling marked wings aside several years ago. I don't collect wings, but something about this type has always impressed me, with their simple, but bold wing pattern. As of a couple of years ago, the majority of these types were still in the $15 - $35 range, but recently, I have seen some go for crazy prices. These are what I have accumulated from vets, vets families and, in some cases, lots of insignia I have gambled on on eBay. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted January 9, 2008 Share #74 Posted January 9, 2008 two pairs of Wosk Paramarine wings. The one on the card is marked sterling. The one in the box probably is but is wrapped in celophane. The box is marked 'sterling' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfrost Posted January 18, 2008 Share #75 Posted January 18, 2008 I know a lot of people always call these 20's or 30's vintage wing. My feeling is that they are rather flimsy for everyday wear, and I lean towards sweetheart wings myself. These are some from my collection. The front is like yours, the back has "Alice and Jonnnie" on the back. Jonnie Cobb wasnt a pilot, but rather a mechanic. and his wife Alice put togther a nice scrap book. The photo shows her wearing the wings! Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
