Hi Llin 1979,

 

You have a period British India-made pin. They're worth $8k to $10k if in good condition. Here below is mine in ok condition.

 

 

 

There is a documented anecdote about Gen. Chennault gambling this pin in his poker game with other China Burma Theatre generals, having emptied his pockets with this pin left.

 

Good find, my friend.

Thank you. I guess my gamble paid off.  The pin does have issues with some paint missing and the most obvious is pinback broken. It did cost me $850, but for something related to Flying tigers, Im glad i bought it. Once again, thank you.
