Rusian Wings-What period?

[Gordon Craig]

Can anyone tell me during what time period these wings were worn and who wore them?

Regards,

Gordon

The reverse of the wings. What does the number on the back indicate?

Nice wings. I haven't seen any like them, including that type of serial number.

What lends you to believe these are Soviet? Have you thought about another Warsaw Pact country?

[STEBALIN]

I second desantnik. I have never seen those pilot wings before.
My guess it´s bulgarian.

Thanks for the response guys. Calling them Russian was just a guess and that is what the vendor thought they were. I guess I have to keep looking to identify them.

Regards,

Gordon

I've never seen these before either. But according to linden leaves I'd suggest check Czehoslovakia also. A linden is a Slavic tree, but as a simbol I've never seen it used in Russia. It's used frequently in Slovenia (the wings are surely not from Slovenia or ex-YU), but I also noticed it on Czech items.

Valter,

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try researching it there.

Regards,

Gordon

Hi,
According to my references, this is a Czech flight mechanic/engineer wing used 1956-1968. So, Czech it is!
Cheers,
