ARTIFACT: This is a World War I United States Army Air Service Pilot (Jr. Military Aviator) wing by the Linz Brothers Jewelry Company of Dallas Texas. 'The South's Greatest Jewelers' as period advertisements state. The wing is of the proscribed design with hand-engraved stars and stripes in the center shield with solid gold applied hand-detailed US. The actaul 'wings' are made up of 3 layers of feathers of increasing sizes. Overall the wing has a unique and eye-catching appearance.

VINTAGE: Circa 1918.

SIZE: Wing: 3-7/16" x 13/16", with backing felt: 3-5/8" x 1-1/16".

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Sterling silver with 14K Gold applied 'US', brass disc-nuts, and a heavy felt backing.

ATTACHMENT: Two screw posts with disc-nut backings.

MARKINGS: None.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a United States Air Service, Air Corps, Army Air Forces, and Air Force wing collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAEJJX10 LCGEJJX4/10 SCJJJX5/10

CONDITION: 8 (Excellent-): Wing has light wear and medium tarnishing and the backing felt is in excellent condition with very light fading on one side. It is interesting to note that there must be some odd ingredient in the dye used for the felt, as anuy of thsee wings I ahve encountered still with the original backing felt all take on a slightly brownish hue of tarnish instead of the usual blue/black hue..

GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
