small and narrow, 1 1/2" wide. Under a loupe you will see an arch in red,
white and blue enamel with the motto "WINGS OF MERCY". Under the arch is
the large Amphibian aircraft with twin vertical stabilizers on the tail, and a
very deep keel. Area under nose has large red cross where on military
planes was any nose art. Tiny pin on back. Dates almost certainly in
the 1930's. Never saw anything else vintage from this group.

53 SP - SUPER RARE CROSSED MUSKET LAPEL STUDS

muskets rather than crossed rifles as found on late 19th
Century insignia and jewelry, I am inclined to date these early rather

white fired enamel backing, gold line borders, and applied brass crossed
muskets. Reverse has screw post and round nut. $35
