BEING RESEARCHED - "Expert" Para-Bomber Badge in Sterling by Whitehead & Hoag- NOT FOR SALE UNTIL ID

This is an unidentified sterling silver badge by Whitehead & Hoag reading EXPERT from World War II. The badge is possibly for para-bomb proficiency, as it shows a parachute enameled in red guiding a missile (enameled in a honey color). The badge has several decorative flourishes, not entirely typical for a military badge.

Circa World War II.

About 5/8 in width by 1-3/16" in height.

Sterling silver with enamel.

Vertical pin with drop-in locking swivel catch.

WH (Whitehead & Hoag) maker's mark, STERLING.

This is from an unidentified collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAJJX04

8+ (Excellent): The badge has some minor wear and tarnishing and all enamel is intact.

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