lakenormanusa Posted February 21, 2018 Share #1 Posted February 21, 2018 I need some wing expertise. This wing looks similar to a Norsid pattern. Does anyone know the maker or style of this badge? Also, does the pin and locking device appear to be original? Thanks for any advise! Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfrost Posted February 21, 2018 Share #2 Posted February 21, 2018 It is very similar, but I am not sure it is actually a NORSID wing. There is a variation of this wing with the US Seal applied to an observer wing. Your wing seems perfect, I just don't know who actually made them. Here are some examples of what I believe to be the NORSID wing. There is actually another NORSID marked pattern that is more traditional, like the AMICO pattern.

pfrost Posted February 21, 2018 Share #3 Posted February 21, 2018 This is a hallmarked NORSID wing in the AMICO pattern. So, in summary, there are probably at least two NORSID patterns. I think I have or have seen the other pattern also hallmarked. And I think that there are some jump wings that are also hallmarked NORSID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakenormanusa Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share #7 Posted February 21, 2018 It is very similar, but I am not sure it is actually a NORSID wing.

Here are some examples of what I believe to be the NORSID wing. There is actually another NORSID marked pattern that is more traditional, like the AMICO pattern. The aircrew wing pictured at the top looks to have the exact deco wing pattern The Norsid wings seem to have a more distinct squared off shoulder.

pfrost Posted February 22, 2018 Share #9 Posted February 22, 2018 I wasn't clear, the first wing I posted (the AC wing) is the same pattern as yours. All the others are what is considered the NORSID wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfrost Posted February 22, 2018 Share #10 Posted February 22, 2018 This is a hallmarked NORSID gunner wing in the other (non-AMICO) pattern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
