Description
ARTIFACT:
This is an extremely rare and exquisite example of a World War II United States Army Air Forces bombardier wing. It is in sterling silver and was made in Sydney, Australia by Angus & Coote. The wing has fine details and a lovely finish. This is the only example of this wing I have ever had the pleasure of offering, now for its second time.
