ARTIFACT: This is a rare and magnificent World War I member badge for the Lafayette Flying Corps. The Lafayette Flying Corps was the umbrella name given to all American pilots who volunteered to serve with the French for one reason or another, and also includes members of the French Air Force's Lafayette Escadrille. The badge is a fantastic eagle balanced upon a propeller. In places the detail is so subtle that it looks like molten gold.

VINTAGE: Circa World War I.

SIZE: Approximately: 1-3/4" in height and 1-1/2" in width.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Gold-plated brass.

ATTACHMENT: Horizontal pin with C catch.

MARKINGS: None.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a United States Army Air Forces collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VCJJJX11 LFEJJX9/11 SEJJJX10/11

CONDITION: 8- (Very Fine-Excellent): The badge shows some small areas of light wear and tarnish.

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