wings-patches2 Posted November 20, 2019 Share #1 Posted November 20, 2019 I acquired this about 20 years ago from a career airman who flew in WW2-Korea. It was pinned on this original sale card and obviously never used, it is as new. Guesses on manufacturer? (I am assuming it is WW2.) Thank you in advance.

Wake1941 Posted November 20, 2019 Share #2 Posted November 20, 2019 Definitely not ww2, I always thought these were restrikes post 70s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rathbonemuseum.com Posted November 20, 2019 Share #3 Posted November 20, 2019 Agreed with Wake. It's style is based on NS Meyer pattern but with that little peak in the middle of the pelican beak line in the shoulder. But the manufacturing is all off and that all-over gray finish is an indicator of cheaper white metal materials that have been plated. I used to find these in surplus stores.

Wake1941 Posted November 20, 2019 Share #4 Posted November 20, 2019 My guess is he probably bought a cheap replacement way down the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
