U.S. Navy Naval Aviator Wings

Hello,

 

I picked this set of U.S. Navy Naval Aviator Wings today. Could these been made overseas? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

From the back, the cast doesn't look good.

Look US-made to me based on the hinge.  
Probably wartime  “no frills”  manufacture.   Along the lines of some of the more commonly encountered low quality shooting badges from the war years.

I think Kurt is correct in his assessment

I have never seen a photo of one of these being worn, nor ever encountered one on a uniform.

However, it is a legitimate low quality wing that is commonly seen.

Probably early war years.

Agree with above comments.

IIRC, I have one of these from the estate of a late-war USN pilot.  He got his wings right at the end of the war and never made it into the fleet.

These were a staple in the Wosk collection that was sold years ago. You had to buy a couple of these to be able to buy something you really wanted.
