ARTIFACT: This is a rare United States Navy shirt-size pilot wing by Josiah Odence in sterling. A USN shirt size Pilot wing of the WWII period by this maker is actually more scarce than the full size USN Pilot wing. The wing shows an anchor at center with a striped crest. For many years the maker mark on this wing was erroneously believed to be that of the J. F. O'Brien company of Madison, NJ, but the mark was finally positively ID'd as that of the JOSIAH ODENCE company in early 2017.

VINTAGE: Circa World War II.

SIZE: 2-1/8" wing.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Gilt sterling.

ATTACHMENT: Horizontal pin with come-under swivel catch.

MARKINGS: STERLING + 1/20 10K and Josiah Odence maker's mark.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a United States Navy wing collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAGEX08 LCIEX4/10 SCEJX6/11

CONDITION: 8- (Very Fine-Excellent): Wing shows medium wear.

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