SENIOR PILOT WINGS.

[Kilroy56]

Hello all,

This set of senior pilot's was found recently.

In spite of the "capped" posts , I can see some solder. I therefore assume these are late WW2 era wings.

Any idea about the maker?

Thank you,

Dominique

Hi Dominique,
hard to tell from little photos, this pattern might be from WWII as well as 1950's.
You should look at the pin lenght:
usually, from late WWII to Korea War pins were short (4-6 mm),

whereas from 1950's to 1960's they were longer (about 1 cm).

I have my own opinion on these wings I would say being that they are sterling and the style of them from what I can see I would date them between 1946-1952 !! There was a reference somewhere else online to a very similar pair of wings but I do not recall were i saw them !!

Where are you getting those dates?

Posts are about 6 mm long. There is a similar pattern wing pictured on B. Schwartz' s excellent website...

I would feel comfortable calling them late ww2 era.

 

Not sure where loveofmylife is coming from... Although apparently nowhere as he appears banned?

He keeps trying to come back with different accounts/names.
