obal7 Posted May 12, 2019 Share #1 Posted May 12, 2019 I recently picked up a WW2 Marine grouping of pins, rank bars , EGA s etc and this smaller version of USMC Gold clutch back wings were included. I read a few of the very informative posts about USMC para wings and the makers and codes, but I am not sure as exactly what I have, and the era of use. I am also wondering if these were ever worn on uniforms, dress and/or service uniforms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted May 12, 2019 Share #2 Posted May 12, 2019 Probably 60s-70s, as the Gold wings were not in regs in the 50s. Worn on the dress mess uniform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan H. Posted May 13, 2019 Share #4 Posted May 13, 2019 WWII vintage minis do exist and were occasionally seen worn on the o/seas cap just like the aviators who wore mine pilot wings on their caps. Brig has identified your example as 60's - 70's vintage and I would agree with his assessment. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
