Sterling Pilot Wings??

[CoinFetcher]

Hello,

I found these with my meteal detector last night at a home tear out. Some clad and a ‘36 wheatie as well.

These look like they could be a pair of pilot wings almost… A shield with wings. I did about five or 10 minutes of research to find a matching pair, and I could not. If these are pilot wings, they would be my fourth pair of pilot wings I have found.

Can't help with the ID but they're a nice find regardless, congrats!

That's rather stylish, but I'm not really seeing "wings"... whether pilot or otherwise. Looks more like a piece of ladies' jewellery to me... perhaps a scarf or shawl pin.

There are maker's marks below the word "Sterling", which look they may be a set of three shields as American pseudo-hallmarks. A sharper close-up might give us some clues as to maker and time period if the marks aren't too worn.

Cool find. Almost looks like a balloon badge but too fragile for military usage. I'm guessing it's probably about WWI era

Looks a little Art Nouveau in style to me. Early 20th C maybe?

It certainly is a beautiful piece of jewellery, I wonder if the stylized shield represents anything in particular?

That's what I was thinking? Similar, but not quite to a shield 🛡 of the salvation army.

Thank you for all your feedback! I’m still not certain what it is! You’re all awesome

We might be able to summon up a greater degree of awsomeness if we could have a sharp close-up of the maker marks.

Looks more like a company pin... but what company had a symbol like that is anyone's guess
