Help with I.D. on old U.S. Air Force or Air Corp Wings Pin

[owilly]

Hello all,

Can anyone I.D. this U.S. aviation pin? I have scoured the web all day but can't find anything exactly like it. It sort of looks like some of the circa WWI pins, but I just can't make a positive I.D. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Can you post a pick of the back of the badge?

My friend actually bought it from a regional on-line auction place, and he can't pick it up until Thursday. I stole the frontal pic from the auction listing. I will have him send me a picture of the back of it as soon as he gets it Thursday. Thanks!

I'm looking for the pin type and if there are any maker stamps on it, that will help!!!

That is very interesting. Never thought of that. Thanks. Here's a picture of the back of the pin. There doesn't appear to be any marking on it, so perhaps it is a PX item?

I've seen a very similar set of wings that were identified as US Mail air carrier wings from the `20's & '30's.
