Sabrejet Posted December 7, 2009 Share #26 Posted December 7, 2009 Nice jacket...I have a very similar one. Does the other metal insignia check out ok? If so, I wouldn't hesitate to add it to my collection, providing the asking price is reasonable. Ian :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some more info on the former owner and the history of the jacket is on the way, so we'll see if that gives a clue as to the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted December 7, 2009 Share #28 Posted December 7, 2009 Either way, it's a very good example of type and worthy of a place in any USAAF/USAF uniform collection. Ian :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the label. There is a name on there, but I erased it as teh deal is not concluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thwingmarty Posted June 26, 2014 Share #30 Posted June 26, 2014 One of the posts in this thread says that the STERLING mark on a WWII-issued Meyer T/O should be in raised letters behind the vertical part of the T. There are two Meyer T/O wings on the Griffinmilitaria site listed as being WWII, but both have incised STERLING marks. One is a pin-back with the cammed pin and the other is a clutch back. I have this Meyer T/O wing which I acquired from someone I really trust, and it is the same as the pin-back wing offered on Griffinmilitaria except with the markings as on the clutch-back one. Are these all really post-WWII restrikes? Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cattaraugus Posted July 3, 2018 Share #31 Posted July 3, 2018 Hi, I have a similar wing, sterling is on the other side from the shield, the examples I have seen on the forum noted as restrikes seem to have sterling on the shield side, plus it is a clutch back. opinions?

Tesla Posted July 4, 2018 Share #33 Posted July 4, 2018 Here is my T/O wing. I know it's not a Meyer wing, but it has the raised sterling mark and short posts. Is this a good wing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchcollector Posted July 4, 2018 Share #34 Posted July 4, 2018 I have no expertise with these,so take my opinion for what it's worth.I have some doubts about the Wing in post # 31.It seems to have the large "STERLING" stamp compared to the one in post # 30.The Wing in post # 33 looks better to me.Maybe some of the more seasoned Wing collectors will add their input too.

Nack Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share #35 Posted March 15, 2019 The other active thread about TO wings motivated me to snap some pics of a wing I bought in a lot some time ago. I presume its a restrike, but Id be happy to be wrong, of course. When I first saw it, I concluded fake due to the pin and Meyer hallmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
