[13:22] <aeroplanez> hi
[13:22] <aeroplanez> morning
[13:29] <BugeyeD> foggy here
[13:29] <BugeyeD> but definitely morning
[13:29] <BugeyeD> :)
[13:32] <aeroplanez> this is just a shot in the dark
[13:32] <aeroplanez> anybody happens to know anything about military badges
[13:58] <aeroplanez> i have some unidentified ones
[14:11] <BugeyeD> i've been out almost 20 years; i probably wouldn't recognize anything anymore ...
[14:13] <akgraner> aeroplanez, you can always send a link over and I can see what myself or others I know can do for you... akgraner  gmail.com
[14:13] <akgraner> however it will be later tonight before I can really look at anything
[14:13] <aeroplanez> BugeyeD, you might just be the one to be able to recognzie it then :)
[14:13] <aeroplanez> its quite old i figure
[14:14] <aeroplanez> akgraner, can I just post the link here?
[14:14] <akgraner> sure

[14:16] <aeroplanez> my grand father and great grandfather and even their father all served
[14:17] <aeroplanez> from before ww1
[14:17] <aeroplanez> my grandfather and his father were both army pilots
[14:17] <aeroplanez> not sure who this belongs to
[14:17] <aeroplanez> i cant find one to match it against to be honest
[14:17] <aeroplanez> the ones they have now look totally different
[14:18] <akgraner> old Army Air Corp Wings
[14:18] <aeroplanez> heres the back
[14:18] <aeroplanez> http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/1230/markst.jpg
[14:18] <aeroplanez> with the marks
[14:18] <aeroplanez> it says
[14:19] <aeroplanez> Tiffany & Co. MAKERS
[14:19] <aeroplanez> 14KT GOLD, NY
[14:19] <aeroplanez> can you tell sortof the time frame for these?
[14:19] <akgraner> yep - google Army Air Corps Wings and Tiffany & Co. This were very coveted back in  the day
[14:20] <BugeyeD> cool!
[14:21] <aeroplanez> i cant find it
[14:21] <aeroplanez> was it always called army air corps?
[14:21] <akgraner> prop  after World War I but maybe into World War II - even Vietnam wings still had the single pin on those wings
[14:22] <aeroplanez> It looks like Army Air corps wings
[14:22] <aeroplanez> but the ones i found dont have US on their shield
[14:23] <akgraner> I just sent them off to someone
[14:23] <akgraner> so we;ll find out soon enough :-) them = your pics
[14:23] <akgraner> s/we;ll/we'll
[14:23] <aeroplanez> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US_-_Aviation_Wings.png
[14:23] <aeroplanez> these are basically all the designs i find
[14:23] <akgraner> gotta get back to work for now - will check back later
[14:24] <aeroplanez> the middle one does bear resemblenace but it doesnt have the US on it
[14:24] <aeroplanez> thanks akgraner
[14:26] <aeroplanez> lol
[14:26] <aeroplanez> I should have read that wiki
[14:26] <aeroplanez> it says specifically
[14:26] <aeroplanez> this is from WW1
[14:27] <aeroplanez> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Aviator_Badge#World_War_I
[14:27] <aeroplanez> in Ww1 they made them with the US in the shield
