Here's a really cool wing I just picked up a couple days ago. Didn't know what to think until I saw the back with what looks to be Chinese fastenings. Thanks to this forum I was able to recognize that unique locking device. I really do enjoy the details in these. What do you think? Would be great to make this a chinese thread with some more examples so feel free to share yours if you'd like.

Wow! That's a wonderful badge Mike. The extra hand-worked detail in the shoulders and shield really makes this badge stand out!

Thanks guys glad you enjoyed it. When I bought this wing there was a lot of grime in the shield and the details in between the verticals weren't visible. Was a nice surprise to see such a cool design after I washed some of that crud out with water. Here is one more closer photo of the unique catch.

Sorry for my slow reply Mike, been busy.

Yes, as you asked, I do have some similar pilot wings.

I think I have put some of these on the forum before.

I do consider these Chinese made.

Here is the first...

I have I number of other CBI pilot wings, but those are the closest to yours.

Great wing you have Mike and a wonderful addition to the threads on the forum.

I hope this thread gets more attention.

 

Best, John

John those wings are just amazing! WOW! I'd seen that first pilot on here but not the Liason or the Command Pilot. What I really like on the first one is that chasing which was engraved across the entire wings. The Liason also has the same cool effect across the inner wings and then down around the shield which makes it quite stunning with the contrasting smoothness going towards the wingtips. The other two possible Indian made wings are just as nice especially the cool wreath on that command pilot. Just incredible wings! Thanks a ton for adding these.

I agree...John's Liaison Pilot wing is gorgeous with extra hand chased detail!

 

This Air Crew badge may have been made by the same craftsmen:
