This is a unique, unmarked World War II United States Navy Air Crew wing, possibly manufactured by Blackinton. We have encountered more than a few USN Pilot Wings in the Blackinton pattern that were unmarked, and the unique pattern, and similarity to a smaller 1-inch version lead us to believe it to be made by Blackinton.
The wing shows an anchor at center with three stars above and reads AIR CREW.
VINTAGE:
Circa World War II.
SIZE:2" wing.
CONSTRUCTION / MATERIALS:Sterling with some gold plating.
ATTACHMENT:Horizontal pin with come-under locking catch.
ITEM NOTES:This is from a United States Navy wing collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VCEX09 LAAEX4/10 SAAEX09/01/21
CONDITION:7+ (Very Fine): Wing shows very light wear and tarnish.
GUARANTEE:As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
