Ca. 1930 US Air Corps 6th Bomb Group DI. Early Pinback, No Maker.

Very nice, circa 1930 United States Air Corps 6th Bomb Group Distinctive Insignia. This example is a right-facing swashbuckler with a skull and crossbones tattooed on his chest and a banner beneath him that reads: "PARATI DEFEFENDERE" or "Ready to Defend." and shows the US Air Corps symbol, a white star with a red center, against a blue background. The reverse features a pinback with no maker.

Circa 1930

Approximately 1" x 1-1/2"

Enameled, gilt brass

Vertical pin with drop in locking swivel catch

None.

This is from a US Air Corps collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VBEX05 LBBEX2/16 SAEJX10/16

8- (Very Fine—Excellent): The DI shows minor to moderate wear, some verdigris on reverse, much of the enamel details remain intact, overall excellent condition.

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