A nice addition to my collection. It is marked sterling, and is in nice shape. WWII vintage, and it was a good price!

What makes you call this one a sweetheart pin?
Is it large size? Air Corps cadets wore large wings like this as a hat badge prior to earning their actual wings.

No, scott, about 1 1/4 inches across the wings. I also have a large one about 2" across. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for all the loves everyone!
Got it-- makes sense. Both of yours are too big to be collar brass and too small for a hat badge.
I don't remember the exact size of the hat badge-- maybe the 2" one is a hat badge?
