Stewardess pin wings from an actual stewardess. They are from the late 1960s or early 1970s I believe. They are silver with blue wings, on the middle is a shield with 3 stars across it. The back of the pins screw on, they are straight pins. They are 3/4 of an inch long. Could you tell me what airlines these are from? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Any ideas about this item? Is it rare?
Come to find out, they may not be stewardess wings and may not be from the 60s or 70s. These are completely unidentified. Please help!
Thank you, you've given me more information that anyone else. It's been a difficult journey lol.
I have spent probably 10 hours trying to research them so far. They can with a bunch of stewardess items and Korean War/ WWII items. I am guessing they may be foreign. I've tried contacting websites with very large collections of aviation wings and they are all baffled. There is a local Flight Attendant museum near by, I am considering taking them over there to see if they have anything to say.
