During WWI almost all of the French squadrons had symbols painted on their aircraft and then also had metal pins made to wear as wings on their uniforms, so these are very rare as not many pilots were in any one squadron. Some of the photos show 15-20 pilots in a squadron.  One of the most sort after wings is called the Grim Reaper but the actual name is “Death the Reaper” Pilot Wing of SPAD 94. This wing was Adopted in Feb 1918 and can be found in French Military Aeronautical Branch Badges up to 1918 By Philippe Bartlett on page 142. This is extremely rare and this museum quality reproduction in sterling silver and may be as close to the real one most of the world’s collectors every get. Please note the correct hallmarks on this reproduction.
