April 28, 201412 yr #52 Congrats on a fine wing badge and a fantastic group of items. That is probably about only the fifth or sixth F.H. Noble Naval Aviator wing badge that I have ever seen. Very, very rare indeed.
November 30, 201411 yr #53 I have been looking for one of these for a long time and this one came my way recently. It is really a stunning wing badge in hand. Judging by the pattern and findings I think this wing may have been made by F.H. Noble of Chicago in the 1920's. Best, John
December 1, 201411 yr #64 Beautiful Naval Aviator badge John! The "Rolled Gold" and "Noble" hallmarked badges certainly do look like they're from the same die.
December 6, 201411 yr #65 Beautiful Naval Aviator badge John! The "Rolled Gold" and "Noble" hallmarked badges certainly do look like they're from the same die. I just did detailed comparison of my Rolled Gold and FH Noble Naval Aviator wings and there is absolutely no doubt that they came from the same die. Best, John
December 6, 201411 yr #67 Great wing John thats by far one of the finest and rarest USN wings out there! Congrats!
June 4, 20179 yr #69 I hope one of you were the lucky bidder on the Noble wing from the 1920s. $54 was an absolute steal!
June 4, 20179 yr #72 A rare wing indeed. That was a sleeper that went through un-noticed. Just goes to show that ebay is no judge of actual value, buyer got a killer deal! John
