D_Dutch Posted April 12, 2013 Share #1 Posted April 12, 2013 Hello everybody, Recently I purchased my first uniform, which belonged to a KIA B-24 Co-Pilot. One of the items which came with the uniform was a 2nd Lieutenant bar, but I have no idea what it could've been used on. Does someone have an idea? Thanks!

bakchos215 Posted April 12, 2013 Share #2 Posted April 12, 2013 Just throwing this out. I really have no idea but it looks like a clip type ear ring. Maybe a sweetheart thing. Or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vostoktrading Posted April 12, 2013 Share #3 Posted April 12, 2013 I agree, it looks like an ear ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Dutch Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted April 12, 2013 Thanks for the answers! There were quite a few other sweetheart items so an ear ring would totally make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flightpath Posted April 22, 2013 Share #8 Posted April 22, 2013 That's for wearing in the officer's shower block, pin backs and clutch grips were pretty unpopular there -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
