This 1930’s USMC Pilot’s wing, while never authorize by the Marine Corps, was certainly worn by various members of the USMC during ALL eras of our flying history and it is an original period item from the 30’s era specifically created upon request for military personnel during that period of time. This collectible piece falls under the theme of militaria and features a “OROID” marked badge with the EGA applied to a H&H USN/USMC wing symbolizing the prestigious H&H honor. It serves as a tangible symbol of the bravery and service of the pilots who fought in the war, making it a valuable and sought-after item for collectors and history enthusiasts due to the very low number of such wings created. This item comes out of a 70+ year old collection as will be most of the items to be listed in the next couple of months or longer. Please consider listing me among your favorites as many new and interesting items are to be listed in the very near future primarily in the categories of patches, wings, and badges from World War I, 1930s, World War II, Korean war, and as well as the Vietnam war. By listing the among your favorites, you will be notified each time I post a new listing.

S ARMY, AIR SERVICE AVIATOR, SWEETHEART WING, 1/20 12K GF, VINTAGE. Pinback, Hallmarked “1/20 12K GF”. S Army Air Service Aviator sweetheart wing is a must-have for any militaria collector. With a charming design and 1/20 12K gold-filled construction, this original piece from the WWI-1930s era is a true gem. The wing has not been modified and comes with a guarantee of authenticity. The country of origin is the United States. The theme of this piece is clear and would make a great addition to any militaria collection. This wing is an original piece and not a reproduction. A perfect piece for collectors of Original Period Items, 1919-38, Militaria, or Sweetheart Collectibles. “1/20 12K GF” is a stamp you’ll see on jewelry to indicate it’s gold-filled. Here’s a breakdown of the meaning. 1/20: This refers to the fraction of the total item weight that is gold. In this case, 1/20th of the item’s weight is gold. So, for example, if a piece of jewelry weighs 10 grams, then 1/20th of that (0.5 grams) would be gold. 12K: This refers to the karat weight of the gold. Karat (abbreviated K) is a unit used to measure the purity of gold. 24K is pure gold, while lower karats indicate that the gold is mixed with other metals. In this case, 12K gold is 50% pure gold (12 parts out of 24). GF: This stands for gold-filled. Gold-filled jewelry is made by pressure bonding a layer of gold to a core of a less expensive metal, such as brass. The gold layer must be at least 5% of the total weight of the item to be considered gold-filled by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the US. So, “1/20 12K GF” means that the jewelry item is gold-filled, with a layer of 12K gold that constitutes 5% of the item’s weight. The concept of “Sweetheart Wings” has a long standing tradition that dates all the way back to World War I. Upon graduating pilot training, servicemen would have a set of their wings turned into a pin or pendant by a local jeweler in order to give to their girlfriend, fiancé, or wife before they went overseas. This custom grew even more popular during World War II, and the handcrafted jewelry became that much more impressive. They would be responsible to send the package to you.
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.
