CNY Militaria Posted February 21, 2008 Share #1 Posted February 21, 2008 Can anyone identify this? I have no idea where it is from! Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwightPruitt Posted February 21, 2008 Share #2 Posted February 21, 2008 Justin, it appears to be the senior version of the wings discussed here, without the insignia applied. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/ind...showtopic=15691 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY Militaria Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted February 21, 2008 I am surprised I missed that! Thanks for the link, it clears it all up! Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY Militaria Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted March 31, 2008 I finally received 4 of these--I am surprised at how pliable the metal is on each! If anyone is interested in getting one, let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_pickrall Posted March 31, 2008 Share #5 Posted March 31, 2008 My guess is someone made a casting from an original and made some copies. They are not finished nearly as nicely as originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY Militaria Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share #6 Posted March 31, 2008 The individual that gave them to me said she had over 50 of these, so that could definitely be a possibility. Thanks! Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Cain Posted April 1, 2008 Share #7 Posted April 1, 2008 Yes that isn't even old lead(which will take on a pleasing grey patina), it is pretty new.
