Description
This is a beautiful and rarely encountered late 1920s US Air Service pilot wing by an as-of-yet unidentified maker. The wings details, especially those of the 'shoulders' of the wing, are unique to this maker. It exhibits an early style drop-in locking catch and also has a very thick nickel pin. A great example of an early US Air Service wing from a very hard-to-find period.
