Nice offering of United States Navy wings, most of which date to the World War II era. Most are naval aviator wings, there are also 2 pairs of flight officer wings (both clutch back, 1 marked 10k the other marked Gemsco), 1 pair of flight surgeon wings (marked by Balfour 10k), 1 observer wing (marked Balfour Sterling), 1 aircrew wing (Marked H&H 10k) one 2" wing by Balfour, and 1 Trifari jeweler made sweetheart wing. There is also a BB&B wing marked 14K and "To Dick With Love From Ann & Al" dated "12-25-46". Pinback with drop catch and contained in a riker display. Most wings are marked on reverse by makers or simply marked "Sterling". Also included is a pair of commander shoulder boards and Navy wings booklet. Wings exhibit a varying patina, and all appear to have functioning clasps. A very nice offering of US Navy wings that would be an instant collection. CONDITION: Good-very good.
