Sterling WWII US Air Corps Son-in-Service Pin

This is a World War II United States Air Corps son-in-service pin in sterling silver. There is an eagle at the top of the pin from which a partially-painted crest dangles. Originally, the area that reads IN SERVICE was once completely black and the shoulders on the wings would have had a bit more red painted details.

Circa World War II.

Approximately 1-3/8" in height and 13/16" in width.

Plated sterling silver, painted areas (some bits worn away or faded).

Horizontal pin with come-under locking catch; suspension loop.

STERLING.

This is from a United States Army Air Forces collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VEX89 LCEX8/11 SCEX3/15

6+ (Fine-Very Fine): The pin shows some areas of moderate to heavy wear and tarnish and most of the painted areas are worn away.

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