Identification Help - Items from Gene A. Witterstetter - KIA During Miracle of St. Nazaire - Snap, Crackle, Pop! B17

[KingCornChip]

Hello,

 

I recently came upon a small grouping of items from 2nd Lieutenant Gene A. Witterstetter, co-pilot, and I am drafting a provenance affidavit and I could use some help identifying some items and looking for opinions on what to record - anything notable, odd, etc. These aren't all of the items, just the wing-ish-related.

 

1. These are just sterling marked. Likely graduation wings.

 

 

 

 

2. These are marked AE CO UTICA NY and STERLING

 

 

3. These are marked NEW YORK and MEYER in a shield with sterling on the other side.

 

 

 

4. I assumed this was a sweetheart piece. I am stumped on it.

 

 

 

5. Lapel pins? Left is screw-back, middle is broken (looks like it was glued to paper at some point), right is pin back.

 

 

 

 

6. I do not know what this is. Small cadet cap pin?

 

 

 

7. Pretty clear cadet cap badge I think.

 

 

 

 

Thank you for any help you can provide!
