U.S. Pilot Wings

[Sevrin]

Hi Guys,

Friend of mine acquired these and some other personal effects ( says he knows the name of the recipient ) but can't find much information about these type of wings.

I'm a German medal collector so my knowledge of these wings is zero; but I told him I'd at least run these by you all and see what I could find out.

Thanks for your time!

Best,

James R.

Many fakes of this type.

The US Militaria Forum has a section dedicated to wing badge discussions. You might look there to see if your wing looks legit.

There are, indeed, many fakes of WWI wings. But this is not one of them, a nice original.

Thanks Dan,

Appreciate it. He's got some other things as well, so I'll run by there tomorrow and get a pic or 2.


Best,
