Original Pre-WWII US Navy Naval Aviator Observer Wings White Co.
Very nice original item. Construction in silvered brass. 2-3/4" in width. Unmarked, cavity back, pin-back fastener with C-hook. Although unmarked this is the White Co. pattern and examples are known.
This is one of the rarer US Naval Aviator wings out there. This was in regulations between 1927 and 1929 (approx. 18 months total). I attached a screenshot of the 1922 US Naval Regulations Supplement detailing order 225(c) on the naval aviator observer wings which would be replaced by the O-wing in mid 1929. The whole regulation is available on the University of Illinois digital library where it was scanned in.
Note: There are no berries, these are feathers. Transitional wings.
