    I found these years ago in a new home we moved in to. I then lost them... only to find them again this morning. I've tried Googling them but have had no luck finding anything similar. If anyone knows what they are I would love to find out!

    Thanks in advance,
    Steve W.

      Top is a Chinese pilot wing.

      The other looks to be a Russian navy wing-- but I am not certain.

      Both look to be more modern pieces.

      Scott, thanks for the quick response.

      Since you told me the top one was a Chinese pilot wing I've been doing some research. It is numbered on the back. From what Info I've found online and by looking at similar ones on eBay and other sites it seems like it's a pin from WW II. Do you think it could be? Or is it possibly a knock off or replica? Honestly I don't know anything about this kind of stuff so pardon me if I sound silly. And still no luck identifying the bottom one.

      Thanks again.

      The Chinese wings look to be modern made to me. My opinion is based on the wing style, clutch back, style of writing, and dark color on back. Nothing suggests an older wing.

      Thanks again, Scott.

      Know that I've done even more research I'm pretty sure the Chinese pilot wings are 70-80's Taiwan reunion wings as shown here: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/181327-avgflying-tiger-wings-on-ebay/

      And the other is a Soviet naval air force wings badge.

      I actually learned a lot about pins and insignias like this today so I'm glad I found these again. Now I have a good idea what to look out for when at yard sales and such.

      Thanks again, and the mystery is now solved!
