This is a full size USN Aviator’s wing with an EAG appliance added to the center shield of a US Naval Aviator’s wing and thus designating a USMC aviator. This USMC wing style was not officially designated but was certainly worn. This wing is d ie struck but its maker is unknown as it is unmarked! While it is one of the most beautiful such wings I have ever seen, recognize that I’m reluctant to claim it is actually authentic to the era because it just looks too good and lacks the patina I would expect to see on such a wing of that age. I’ve also looked closely at the attachments of the pin bases to the wings in order to ascertain whether they are soldered or electronically welded. There is no bubbling as would be expected as a result of electronic welding. Electronic welding was not available until the late 1950s. The pin retraction is on a 70-80° angle and weighs 14 g m. Please consider viewing my other listings and adding me to your “favorites” list as I will be listing many more interesting and unusual items in the future-particularly wings & badges.

Original WWII Italian Army Fascist “Tank Pilot” Full Size Wings. Very nice original Italian badge. They measure 74 mm across and are factory made not field construction. With typical Italian barrel catch on reverse for pin. Badge is fire gilt with nice high polish along the edge of the wings and details on the tank and eagle (not well shown in pictures). This variant appears to be for the Carro Veloce L3/33 light tank. While the “tank pilot” badges were never official as the war ended before the regulations were enacted a few specifics are known. The badges were made by the same companies who produced pilot wings. The tank affixed to the wing is the tank which the “pilot” trained for. Finally, the same regulation for size of the wings applies to the RA pilot and the tank pilot. This set is a full size set for the uniform tunic. See my other auctions with military and other items!
