SCARCE Original World War II 3 Inch Sterling Silver Army Air Corps Flight Engineer Wings.

The wings have a long, horizontal fixation pin on the rear, suspended between a hinge on the right wing, and a fine, operable, undamaged roller catch on the left wing. It appears that the wing began manufacture as an Observer wing, then the radial engine and 4-blade prop emblem was soldered into place. The reverse of the center bears the stamped hallmark: NS MEYER, INC. " then "NEW YORK, then the Meyer shield emblem. Below the shield "STERLING" appears.
