Help ID Please. Are these Pilot Wings?

Unmarked unfortunately.  Thank You

Probably not. More than likely they are part of a piece of patriotic jewelry or the broach that would have held on to a small ribbon.

@pfrost is not wrong.  They are certainly not military regulation.  

 

That said, during aviation's early years (1913~1930s) some private pilots "self-awarded" various "wing" or "eagle" pins to show their status before the public.  These pins were mostly commercial offerings (almost certainly never intended to have such meaning attached) and varied from place to place and from person to person.  Any such wear would purely have been a matter of taste, fashion, and ego.

 

Could this be such a pin?  Possibly... However proving such affiliation would necessitate some sort of evidence.  Barring that, as Patrick notes, "Probably not."

 

Warm regards!
