Wharfmaster Posted February 14, 2016 Share #1 Posted February 14, 2016 Found this tiny sterling lapel Wing not too long ago. Pin back - open clasp with maker's mark on the reverse. Wings measure only 1-3/8 inches wide. Nice detail for size. Wharf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5thwingmarty Posted February 14, 2016 Share #3 Posted February 14, 2016 I have only ever seen a photo of one wing with a Bell hallmark that was not an aerial gunner wing. I have several sweetheart wings in this style with Walter Lampl hallmarks, but have never seen an aerial gunner wing with a Lampl hallmark. I also picked up a bracelet made with one of these aerial gunner wings attached to a backing plate, and the same Bell hallmark was on the back of the bracelet as well. It has always puzzled me why Bell did not put hallmarks on any other styles or sizes of wings. Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfrost Posted February 14, 2016 Share #4 Posted February 14, 2016 I suspect that both Bell and Lampl simply contracted these items from the same manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
