Jennings Lane Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted January 21, 2022 Thank you triple canopy. Always appreciated. I have a couple of these and they look a little fresh to me. I'm wondering whether they were ever reproduced. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digi-shots Posted January 21, 2022 Share #4 Posted January 21, 2022 I have a sterling pilot wing with same CWP stamping… I’ve always thought is was the pilot’s initials. Let me get them out and post photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any reason for someone to reproduce clearly post WWII submarine insignia. They are fairly common and have low collector value compared to WWII and earlier examples.

Jennings Lane Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share #7 Posted January 22, 2022 Thanks Josh. I appreciate your help. Sometimes, with so much stuff being reproduced, I think I look at some things too hard. Thanks again. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
