ARTIFACT: This is a sterling World War II Civil Aeronautics Administration CAA WTS War Training Service pilot instructor's wing. In the center of the wing is the head of an American Indian facing right, basically the same image as the US 5 cent "Indian Head Nickel" of the pre-WWII period. This was part of The Civilian Pilot Training Program CPTP as a flight training program from circa 1938-1944 sponsored by the United States government with the stated purpose of increasing the number of civilian pilots.

VINTAGE: Circa WWII, 1943 - 1944.

SIZE: Approximately: 3/4" in height x 3" in length.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Sterling silver.

ATTACHMENT: Horizontal pin with come-under locking catch.

MARKINGS: PAT. PEND. 


STERLING

ITEM NOTES: This is from a Air Force Wing collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MFJX17 LBIEX8/17 SLCIEX01/25/25

CONDITION: 7- (Fine+): Some tarnish, but great patina. Left wing tip (as viewed) is slightly tweaked, so lower grade and lower price. Might get a jeweler to straighten this if no one jumps on the bargain. :)

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