    Two badges for identification please


    Recommended Posts

    This pair of wings and a wheat sheaf badge came to me with an accumulation of British 1940-1960 era badges. The wings are 1 9/16" tall and the wheat sheaf is 1 1/8" tall. The wire attachments and design are not typically British so they may have another nationality. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience!

    Thanks to your suggestions, the silver wings have been identified as 1915 Belgian pilots wings. The metal wings have been turned to an upswept angle from the original horizontal by some previous owner or the pilot. My grandparents had bought the Daily Telegraph "King Albert's Book" for the Belgian Relief Fund and when the royal monogram is compared it is easy to see the similarity.

    The sheaf of wheat insignia remains a mystery but with continued research the identification should be solved.
