This sweetheart piece from WW2 was a gift from a service member serving in the US Army Air Corps. Each link has the "Wing and Propeller" insignia along with 2 stars.
The bracelet is sterling silver and actually has pretty good weight to it. Each link is marked on the back with "Sterling Craft" and "By Coro". WW2 sweetheart items by Coro always seem to be of very high quality.
