A thread for examples and patters from N. S. Meyer

[S.ChrisKelly]

These are original, N.S. Meyer hallmarked "9M", their hallmark [approxiamtely] 1954 - 1965.  Both styles, safety catch & pin and posts-and-clutches, were available.  Women personnel generally wore these miniature wings, preferring the safety catch & pin style.

My mother on active service, 1955 - 1957, 7167th Special Air Missions Squadron, wearing the above wings while a part of USAFE.

Here is what I believe to be a pre-WWII Meyer Pilot wing.  I doesn't appear to have ever been worn or hardly ever removed from its original box.  I especially like the back of the box which identifies four different Meyer metal types they offered, including Meyer Metal, Meyer Plate, Myrgold and Silvore.  I had never seen a reference to Silvore before, and had been under the assumption that these silver-colored wings that were not marked Sterling were silver-plated brass, but according to this they are some mystery "special alloy" and not plated at all.
