 038 - WWI AVIATION PILOT’S
GROUP WITH OUTSTANDING DALLAS STYLE WING – IDENTIFIED!
Price: $2,750.00
Here we have a
beautiful framed First World War Aviation insignia grouping that
belonged to Captain J. N. Thorp, Jr., who was a member of the U.S. Air
Service from 1917 to 1918. The grouping consists of a beautifully hand
embroidered aviation “Son in Service” brown felt aviation pennant, a
World War I U.S. Victory Medal with bar, “France”, a WWI 1917-1918 New
Jersey Victory medal named to Thorp, a set of aviation officer’s wing
& prop collar insignia, an AVIATOR’S “Son in Service” pin, a solid
bronze 1917 – 1919 World War Victory Medal and a magnificent silver
“Dallas” style pilot’s wing. The Son in Service pennant is completely
hand embroidered in muti colored cotton thread with the word “Aviation”
at the top and the single, blue star “Son in Service” pennant in the
center. Below this is an embroidered pilot’s wing and below that is the
four blade prop insignia of the Air Service both embroidered in white
thread. The “Son in Service” banner is beautifully executed and
exhibits exquisite texture and detail to the red field. The “Son in
Service” pin features a flying gilt eagle that closely resembles the
first very rare “Military Aviator’s” badge. The eagle is holding a
single, blue star banner with a bronze “U.S.” below in its talons. The
World War I New Jersey Victory Medal is engraved to “Capt.N.J. Thorp,
Jr.”. The pilot’s wings are beautifully done in three piece silver on a
black backing and with the separately applied gold “U.S.” in the
center. The World War I Victory Medal’s ribbon has separated from the
suspender within the frame and with the exception of this all insignia
remains in excellent condition. This early aviator’s insignia grouping
is exceptionally scarce and is truly a thing of beauty to behold.
