    Latvian Naval Pilot Wings


    Recommended Posts

    This is outside my theme of collecting but couldn't pass it up. At the time I wasn't sure which country this represented but have since determined that it is Latvian.

    Anyone have any thoughts as to time frame and/or authenticity? They are approximately 2 and 1/4 inches across.

    I can't copmment on authenticity or era, but I most definitely agree with you... They are quite irresistible! Very nice find!

    Muller is the correct manufacturer for insignia of this period circa 1930 (he was the manufacturer of Latvian orders). From the photo I would give it the benefit of the doubt as I am not aware of Latvian badges being faked, if they are it's a realtively recent development.

    Thanks for the compliments.

    Paul, thanks for the vote of confidence :unsure:;) on it being original. I, like you, have not heard of them being faked like their counterparts. I know that it was very difficult to even identify the wings with there being so little information out there.

    Kind Regards

    Mark
