WWII Navigator Wing.. questions

[digi-shots]

Hello,

 

Here are two full size Navigator wings  (they are the same size, the angle makes one look  larger).

 

I think they are both WWII, the clutch pins are the shorter style.

 

Even though there are no manufacturer names on the back, can anyone tell me who might have made them.

 

Is one pair more desirable than the other? I kinda like the warmer tone vs the darker blue/black one.

 

Also shown is a smaller miniature wing.. does anyone know who might have made it?

 

Thanks

The first wing pattern is attributed to LeVelle.  The second is a government issue pattern attributed by some to Robbins.  The third looks like a Balfour pattern.

Thanks Marty.. 

 

The mini wing with the what I call punch dot on the shoulder of the wing is familiar.. I think I have some full size wings like that.

The one you're referring to as the "punch dot" is usually called a pelican beak pattern as the shoulder looks like a Pelican's head with the round dot being the eye.  Several companies made this style of wing.  The Meyer version, and the later, oversized Gemsco version, have a unique peak in the bill portion of the pelican's beak.

 B… thanks for the pelican beak info…

 

Here are the pelican beak miniatures that I have.  A couple have the manufacturers name stamped on them
