This is a great example of a well-used, probably battle-worn WWI United States Air Service Pilot Wing in the Shreve Style. Although I do not believe it to be made by the Shreve firm.
VINTAGE:Circa WWI.
SIZE:About 3-1/4" in width by 1" in height
CONSTRUCTION / MATERIALS:Sterling silver.
ATTACHMENT:Horizontal pin with a "drop-in" locking catch.
MARKINGS:Sterling. "Dutton" is scratched on the back, perhaps the name of the original pilot who wore the wing.
ITEM NOTES:This is from a large collection of wings, which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VIEJX05 LBGEJX SBEJJX9/10
CONDITION:8+ (Excellent): Very minor wear, truly a wonderful example of this pin.
GUARANTEE:As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
