Bob Hudson Posted January 19, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 19, 2020 These shirt-sized wings came from a pilot who flew (likely P-38s) out of India for 16 months in 1943-44. They have a pinback and I wonder if this is indeed made in India? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted January 19, 2020 I keep getting WWI wings when I do a search for these; I did some more checking up on this pilot and discovered his uncle was a pilot in WWI, so could these have been his?

Wake1941 Posted January 19, 2020 Share #3 Posted January 19, 2020 They are WW2, I would say most likely Indian made as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mghcal Posted January 19, 2020 Share #4 Posted January 19, 2020 Agreed with Wake1941. I've never seen that particular pattern before but the handcut roller clasp is definitely CBI. I've seen the same type of clasps on many India made ww2 wings. Very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnman Posted January 22, 2020 Share #5 Posted January 22, 2020 That particular pin type and clasp is more likely Chinese made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
