obal7 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brig Posted May 12, 2019 Probably 60s-70s, as the Gold wings were not in regs in the 50s.

Allan H. 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 Never under-estimate the power of prayer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
