Reference Number: Avaluer:164121 |
This is a named group of items from a Civil Air Patrol pilot who flew Liaison Patrol along the Mexican border during WWII. There are 2 uniforms with the wings, a visor hat, some overseas caps and miscellaneous insignia. The pinks and greens uniform looks nice. There is some mothing on the back of one sleeve, but overall it looks nice. The pinks have one spot of mothing, but look good. The wing ...on this uniform is a Juarez pattern AAF pilot wing that has had the center of a CAP pilot wing soldered on. It looks like it was done by a jeweler and it is a great looking wing. The blue center part of the enamel is chipped. The uniform has a CAP "TOW TARGET" patch on the shoulder and the Liaison Patrol patch on the sleeve. The tan summer weight uniform is just the jacket, there are no trousers. It was made of very light weight material and has areas that are falling apart. It does not look like mothing and it is not water damage, it is places where the material is crumbling. In the photo of the damaged fabric there is a shadow, it is not a stain. All of the insignia on this uniform are in nice condition. It has a felt CAP patch on the shoulder, Liaison Patrol patch on the sleeve and a ribbon bar. The wing on this uniform is a sterling AAF wing that has had a CAP wing center soldered on to it. It is a clutch back wing. There is a visor hat which is in fair/good condition with a Robbins Sterling CAP badge. It has a little mothing, but displays nicely. There is some miscellaneous insignia and the man's WWII era dog tags. Paymentmust be received within 7 days of auction close orhigh bidder loses all right to property.
