Brig Posted January 10, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 10, 2015 Here's one worth grabbing if you collect female service items...appears to be custom made, not the prettiest thing, but definitely unique! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-ORIGINAL-WW2-ETO-SILVER-US-ARMY-AIR-FORCE-FLIGHT-NURSE-FLYING-WITCH-PIN-DUI-/400840463553?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d53f414c1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brig Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share #9 Posted January 29, 2015 Germany uses, or at least used, '800' for silver, as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutiger83 Posted January 29, 2015 Share #10 Posted January 29, 2015 This is just a guess but I wonder if this could be for the Russian female unit nicknamed the "Night Witches". Could the "N" stand for night rather than nurse? "Night Witches" is the English translation of Nachthexen, a World War II German nickname, for the female military aviators of the 588th Night Bomber Regiment, known later as the 46th "Taman" Guards Night Bomber Aviation Regiment, of the Soviet Air Forces. ...Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
