ARTIFACT:
This is an extremely rare example of a World War I United States Air Service pilot wing that is encountered fairly regularly, but almost never with the rare Paye & Baker maker mark. The raised mark, 3 hearts with "P" "&" and "B" inside them, is the Maker Mark of Paye & Baker Manufacturing Company of North Attleboro, Massachusetts. I have only seen one other example of this wing with this hallmark on it. The wing is sterling silver with solid gold applied lettering.
