Small naval aviator wings

[Rattle]

Found me these two pairs of small Naval aviator wings in antique shops a few days ago (every pair in a different store)

 

I know the H&H wings are WWII but what era are the Meyer wings ? i guess these are pre WWII.

The wings in question, marked with an impressed Meyer shield and Rolled Plate marking.

The name "Scotty" is also engraved.

I would date this "13 star wing" design as WWI. However they were still being

worn as late as early WWII on garrison caps. Don't know if they were still being

manufactured at that time.

 

As an aside, there is a good chance that the "hat wings" will return for aviators

for at least the 2011 Centennial of Naval Aviation. Aviators will wear a miniature

wing on the garrison cap in place of the officer's cap device.

How about a close up of the Meyer shield with the bar in the picture?
