WW2 US Air Force Cloth Patches, Metal Wings and Rank Badges
This lot comprises a mixed collection of WW2 United States Air Force insignia, including cloth patches, metal wings and rank badges. The cloth patches are in a range of shapes and colours, with several bearing embroidered designs such as winged propellers, stars and a triangular motif. The lot also includes a silver-tone pair of pilot-style wings, a card of original WWII other ranks USAAF lapel insignia, enamelled and brass pin-back badges, and a set of silver-tone collar bars. Together they offer a varied selection of wartime aviation insignia.
Condition and Collectability
The items show the wear expected of wartime military insignia, with some fading and fraying evident on the cloth patches and light surface marks on the metal pieces. Several of the pieces are displayed on an original card, which adds to the lot’s period presentation. Each piece appears to be an original item rather than a reproduction, which will appeal to collectors of WW2 US military aviation memorabilia. As a grouping of different insignia types, the lot offers good variety for those building a display or studying USAAF uniform insignia.
