Nectar. I've said it before and I'll say it again. That bracelet of yours is off the charts. One off the coolest find's ever.

I found my wings on an Army challenge coin last spring...

Thanks, it was an awesome moment, and turns out that bracelet was fairly rare, but I actually sold it for $60. It lives somewhere in colorado now

Very nice collection Jeff. Were they found at a military site? Like those observers wings.

Well, I sure haven't found any wings.

But I sure enjoyed looking at what the fine folks here have found.

Kudos to all.

Most of the WW2 US wings are silver. Make them out of pot metal now. Too bad. Still nice finds though.

Very cool thread, Love all the wings. Hope I get lucky enough to find some. Thanks for sharing

I wonder if the silver ones have any value above silver melt value. I havent weighed mine but from size and feel they seem to be around one ounce probably. I have them with all my other silver saving up enough to be worth selling but I wonder if they would be worth more as a history piece. I see many listed on ebay for much more than silver value , but mine unfortunately has the pin broken off the back so that probably reduces its value.

Hard to find them with the pins intact. Know they have collector value but mine
have a honored place in my display.
