Allan H. Posted December 23, 2020 Share #2 Posted December 23, 2020 The "835" on this badge is not a maker's mark and I would say that you will be hard pressed to learn who exactly manufactured this particular wing. The 835 stamp was most likely applied in a European country to denote that the makeup of the metal was 83.5% silver and 16.5% copper. It is also possible that this wing was made in the US and then sold to a foreign country (like post WWII Germany) for use as a qualification badge for their military. Either way, I believe the badge to be US made and the stamping to have been added after it was manufactured. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
