Beautiful, Scarce WWII CPT (Civilian Pilot Training) Instructor Lapel Wing

Beautiful, scarce WWII Civilian Pilot Training (CPT) Instructor lapel wing. The center features a winged, blue enameled shield that reads: "CPT". The Civilian Pilot Training program grew out of a desire for preparedness that evolved later into the War Training Service after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Circa WWII

Approximately 15/16" x 1/4"e;

Enameled gilt brass

Horizontal pin with a drop in swivel locking catch.

None.

This is from an aviation collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAJX11 LAAEX1/16

7+ (Very Fine+): The instructor lapel shows minor to moderate wear to the enamel, overall very fine condition.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
