Default What kind of wings do I have?

My grandpa gave me some wings, but we have no clue what kind they are, He thinks they are from world war two, but other than that we're completely lost. They're silver, and have a circle in the middle with what looks like the presidential seal. Anybody know what I have?

Post a picture of them. That will make identifying them much easier.

Smile Re: What kind of wings do I have?

For a little more info, if you haven't already tracked this down, check the following link for an entry with a picture of your wings.

http://www.1903.com/productView.asp?productID=384


WWII Aircrew Wing Juarez Sterling Silver
SKU:P-1472
Our Price $60.00
Features: In WWII a series of wings were sold just across the border from many of the Texas training airfields. These wings are very distinctive by the upsweep of the wing tips. This is a museum quality reproduction of the Air Crew wing in sterling silver. One of the harder to find Juarez wings. .

Regards,
Sylvia
