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

    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

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    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!

    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.
