Very interesting! A unique combination of marks indeed.

It's very interesting to have these two inch wings, unknown why they chose to rout out the center of the dies on this particular one

I just picked this one up, a Rhodium plated AECo.  It is so shiny it is hard to photograph.

That’s a very nice AECO made Flight Surgeon badge Marty! I found it easier to locate a gilt AECO example than the apparent fewer-in-numbers Sterling/Rhodium variation like yours!

 

A  nicely hallmarked silver example! 
Thank you Marty…

Since most are Flight Surgeon wings I thought these may  be a nice change of pace

If not appropriate for this thread please remove 😉 They are not Medical Dept at the time of issue

but soon after

OK here are some what is believed to be pre WWI  Veterinarian Corps Officer Collar WINGED HORSESHOE

Not seen Very Often and took a bit of research before I found anything mentioned about them
Suspect these were the Officer collar style and the Early Round Disk with Winged Horseshoe were Enlisted collar disc ?

Here are one each of the two sets I just acquired and a 1917 & 1918 Army Insignia Manual PAGES
