Nice Late 1930's - Early WWII US Air Corps 6th Bomb Group Left-Facing DI by Meyer

Very nice, late 1930's – early WWII United States Air Corps 6th Bomb Group Distinctive Insignia. This example is a left-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 and reads: "S. MEYER INC. NEW YORK".

Circa late 1930's – early WWII

Approximately 1" x 1-1/2"

Enameled, gilt brass

Vertical pin with drop in locking swivel catch

"S. MEYER INC. NEW YORK"

This is from a US Air Corps collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VEJX03 LAGEX2/16

8+ (Excellent): The DI shows minor to moderate wear, much of the enamel details remain intact, overall excellent condition.

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