Very Rare Circa 1930 Turkish Pilot Wing in Bullion Made in England

This is a very rare circa 1930 Turkish pilot wing made in the United Kingdom. The wing was done in classic UK bullion and construction, pin-pointing a rare wing from a rare period of time. After gaining independence in 1923, the fledgling Republic of Turkey aimed to create a suitable Turkish Air Force. In 1930, Turkish personnel were sent to four western countries, including the United Kingdom, for military training. The wing is a golden crescent and star flanked by spread wings.

Circa 1930.

Approximately 1-3/8" in height and 4-5/16" in width.

Wool felt embroidered in bullion threads treated paper backing.

This is from a foreign militaria collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VBEX09 LABJJ2/12

7+ (Very Fine+): The wing shows moderate wear and tarnishing.

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