Squale69 Posted March 16, 2021 Share #1 Posted March 16, 2021 Hello, I've got this Naval Aviator wing that I would like the origin to be confirmed ! No marker except "ACID TEST" in raised letters on back (right wing). I found a similar one in the excellent book "UNITED STATES NAVY WINGS OF GOLD" on page 61. If someone can help. Thanks, P.A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief D Posted March 17, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 17, 2021 I have a similar hallmark, but mine has the "Acid Test" imprinted. I am also trying to pin down information on it. I know that Gemsco used "acid test" during WW2. I have run across other manufacturers as well though (Gemsco seemed to be most frequent). That is what makes it so difficult for me. I would be interested in the reply to this thread as it may be helpful to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief D Posted March 17, 2021 Share #3 Posted March 17, 2021 Your wings seem similar to a pair posted in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
