Picked this up at the flea market this morning. Full size hallmarked LGB and 10K. Much heavier than the standard sterling 1/20th 10K plated WW2 USN wing and the reverse is a bright mirror-like gold finish.

Very nice find Kurt.

The 10k Balfour Aviator wing badges are rather uncommon, cool to find one at a flea market.

The ones that I have seen are generally engraved with a sentiment on the back.

I have two in my collection, both engravings dated late WWII.

Very nice WWII era wing!
