The only one I've seen! This is a circa late 1940s United States Air Force Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star chained sweetheart pin. The pin is in chromed and enameled brass and even has an extremely cool enameled jet afterburn at the rear of the aircraft pin.

Circa late 1940's.

P-80: approximately 11/16" in length and 3/8" in height, Crest: approximately 1/2" in height and 3/8" in width. Overall approximately 2-1/2" in length.

Chromed and enameled brass.

Pins with drop-in locking swivel catches, chain.

None.

This is from a USAF sweetheart collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VEX14 LAAEX5/14 SAAEX08/20

8 (Excellent-): The pin has only very light wear.

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