1/26th September 1916 , first victory , Russian flying boat, piloted by Lieut Gorkovenko and Unterofitser D Fair

2/8th May 1918 Sopwith Pup at Perched

3/12th June 1918 at Ostdunkerke 

4/3rd September 1918  DH4 E Furness , shot down.

5/26th October Balloon at Deinze

I am seeking any information on him , not sure if a photo exists.

Hopefully someone may able to help !!

Thank you

There is a  original Cairo made version with tail touching , though as you say correctly the badge at the start is wrong , the body of the scorpion is wrong .

Hi ,

 can anyone please help with the ID of this badge.

thanks 

Steve

thanks nick

....had differing opinions on this .

so far ...its modern, its Russian made 1945/46 , transitional piece ....can anyone confirm and maybe add a picture of it being worn ?

thanks

Steve

Thank you all for your kind help and advice regarding my little rarity...very pleased to share this with you all ....now i just have to find the land version ...lol

For your interest, comments always welcome . Thanks. Steve

..cheers interesting described as a collar ..but appears more like an issued lapel badge ..with the finer gold and silver versions being private purchase post 1916 badges ??

Can one add any other pictures of it being worn !! Thanks for the additional pics 1916irishcollector.

Please pm me .

Many many thanks

Hi , thanks Owen , yes it would be nice !! spelling is clear up to the letter "K" in DENIC "K" E , but I am pretty sure it is HUSSAR HEINRICH DENICKE ....(thought surname could be DENICRE ,but with his main name being Germanic , I doubt this is correct ) so I think this one boils down to if anyone has the Brunswick Waterloo roll for the Hussar Regt ??? as that would confirm !! ..., wow and wouldn't it be a find if that's him !! hope someone would be able to confirm !!

Thanks

Steve

...thanks Jareth , but still remains unidentified.

It is not any known aviation insignia that I as a collector or other aviation collectors recognise. I still lean towards aviation school, or puppet state pilots wings....something will crop up eventually ! Thanks for the help folks ;-)

I truly doubt if this is a fantasy piece ,there is no logic in creating a one off wing out of original pieces , ie correct wartime star, no modern fibers , correct wartime backing paper and nice original aging to bullion , certainly not chemically aged.

Just because it is unidentified I certainly wont be condemning to the bin !!

cheers

Steve

...star is the same as pilots wings and backing paper same as other wings from japan......think this identification process will take a while lol

cheers all !!

yes just spotted the thread and thought I have one of them !! very interesting thread !!

cheers

steve

Hello all,

Trying to identify these wartime made wings, they have the same backing as other wartime Japanese cloth / bullion wings that I have seen...these originally came with a grouping of Japanese items from WW2 in a veterans estate clearance in the US....any help on identification would be appreciated.

Thanks

steve

_{Thought I would post my example !! Official type I believe.}
