Grail item hunt! Model 1936 army air corps dress blue shoulder boards

Can you help complete a grail?!

 

I know it is not a wing but wing collectors may have seen one. Here is the missing puzzle piece to a model 1936 blue dress army air corps officer uniform. The first new blue dress of the design incorporated squared shoulder boards with corps piping. This proved controversial and and unpopular and was subsequently discontinued in the model 1938 blue dress. The M1938 had the shoulder passants with rank that are more familiar. Please let me know if you have a pair to sell or know where to find a pair. Thank you. www.rathbonemuseum.com
