ARTIFACT:
This is a great circa 1946 1st Issue Zantop Flying Service pilot wing. The wing shows a federal shield at center with a wreathed "Z" above: it is basically a USAF Command Pilot wing with a Z in the place of the star. The smaller all-black centered cap badge we have listed separately (please see below link for information) is for Zantop International Airlines, which formed in 1962. That cap badge would be the 2nd issue for that company name.
