Japanese Patriotic Pins?

[coastie]

I need help with these. My first guess is that these are patriotic pins, but I could be wrong. What else could they be? The wing span is just over 2 inches.

I believe these are post war. I remember coming across something similar but I cannot recall where. The style of manufacture on these is different from the earlier badges, I think they date from the 70s or 80s if my (defective) memory is correct.

Thanks Paul. I know you would have some sort of answer, but are you saying that there were pins of this sort during the war?

No, wartime pins have a totally different design, even when they feature planes.

Hi Coastie,

I've got to say I really love those pins. The colors are great. They remind me of some of the older Japanese tin toys from back in the 50's and 60's. Hope you can find out more about them.

What is that stamped into the "hinge" tabs?

Regards to the period, they are a great looking set of pins!
