easterneagle87 Posted March 17, 2021 Share #1 Posted March 17, 2021 I don't have a shot of the back yet, but these have a great feathering pattern on them. Which maker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeK Posted March 17, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 17, 2021 Would love to see the reverse. This wing has a CBI look to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschwartz Posted March 17, 2021 Share #3 Posted March 17, 2021 Interesting badge. It has the same look as this wing on my site - Pelican beak wing Would also love to see the back of the badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rathbonemuseum.com Posted March 17, 2021 Share #4 Posted March 17, 2021 I am sensing this is a theater made WWII wing from the front design. Based on a US manufactured wing but with much more detail and cuts. The back will tell a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easterneagle87 Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted March 19, 2021 Received more information and pictures. It appears these maybe "shirt" size and not standard 3 inch wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschwartz Posted March 19, 2021 Share #6 Posted March 19, 2021 I can't really see the hallmark very well from the back of that wing but I really do think there is a striking resemblance to the wings from my site that I posted the link to above. Here's the links directly to the front and back of the wing. They're too large to include directly in this post. http://www.ww2wings.com/wings/usaaf/aircrew/images/presleyaafaircrew6frtlg.jpg http://www.ww2wings.com/wings/usaaf/aircrew/images/presleyaafaircrew6bcklg.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rathbonemuseum.com Posted March 22, 2021 Share #7 Posted March 22, 2021 They look full-size to me. If like the ones Bob connected to above, made by a Swiss jeweler named HUGUENIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easterneagle87 Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share #8 Posted March 22, 2021 Great input, and if I get them I’ll post more info and actual photos. BUT I believe them to be shirt size or 2 inch. Look at how small they are in the palm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschwartz Posted March 22, 2021 Share #9 Posted March 22, 2021 Unless the person holding that wing has extremely short fingers that looks like a 3" wing to me. I get where in the palm it looks like it could be two inch but compare the wing to the length of their fingers. I would lean toward it being full size.
