RFC pilots wings ?

The Left-hand Hallmark looks like the Edinburgh Thistle mark; the centre Hallmark is the standard ·925 Sterling Silver Lion Passant, but the date letter is indecipherable from the photograph.

yes it’s very small hallmark, and even enlarged i can’t make it out, but i suspect a jeweler can.

The guy who runs the ww2wings website also thinks these are ‘sweatheart’ wings, as he has something similar for RAF…..

The silver hall marks will identify age, I think its been made bay a silversmith as a one off possibly.
I did try to enlarge the hallmark but it pixelated so cannot read it.

I see a great many different designs of all kinds of ‘wings’ and other service badges sold as ‘sweetheart’ badges, given to dear-ones as keep-sakes by serving personnel, for sale particularly on eBay. Whilst interesting, I suspect that many of these are modern reproductions or even inventions and this is a specialist area where only the expert or experienced collector could provide authoritative comment. I speak from unfortunate experience when I bought a pair of RFC wings, the metal type I thought worn on the Service Dress tunic only to read later that the fixings or clips on the reverse identified it as a period item, but a post WW1 emblem found on memorial plaques or photograph frames, rather than an item worn on a uniform. I paid far too much for them. Caveat Emptor 🙂

Not saying that your item isn’t period or collectable, it looks very nice indeed, and hope you might get some more information about it.
