"Wing's of World War Two"
"Wing's of World War One, and the Early 1920's"
 |
Welcome to my "ME" Page. My name is John, and I am a 100% Service Connected Disabled Veteran. Since then I have dedicated my life as Wildlife Rehabilitator, specializing in Raptors, and WW1 and WW2 U.S. Wing Badge Collector/Historian. My primary collecting interests are U.S.A.S., U.S.A.A.C., and U.S.A.A.F. Wings, Badges, and Insignia, along with Winged Prop and Specialist Chevrons.In addition, I collect U.S. Army Parachutist's Badges, Combat Medical, and Combat Infantry Badges of all eras. I do this for two reasons: one to keep my own sanity, but more importantly to preserve history, and the birds I love. Especially keeping the individual soldier's history alive for all future generations to see. In Wildlife Rehabilitation I know what it is like to be seriously hurt...so, I understand what the animals are going through. I have become a Falconer, and have grown quite fond of all Birds of Prey. And, yes, I still hunt and fish. Two Wings Badges I am looking for to complete my collection and my makers marked collection as well. I need a Full Size Robbins WWI (with English style assay marks), and a WWI Tiffany & Co., ½ wing, to complete my collection. If you happen to have these and are willing to sell them, please contact me. I am a serious collector of Tiffany & Co., The Robbins Co., American Emblem Company, (A. E. Co.), Josten, W. C. Link, Dieges & Clust, "Bell" Pattern, and Government Issue Wing Badges. So, if you have these types or know of someone who does, please let me know. I also collect U.S. Wing related historical items such as Photos, Original Drawings, Drafts, Die Cards and Die Envelopes, Production Paperwork, Production Notes, Contract Paperwork, War Department Drawings, Government Orders, or Government Contract Paperwork used by the Manufactures in the production of Wing Badges. My other collecting interests include, but are not limited to...
Fine Timepieces, I collect makers such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantine, Audemars Piguet, Blancpain, Jaeger-LeCoultre, A. Lange & Söhne, Omega, Cartier, Breguet, Glashütte Original, Franck Muller, Harry Winston, any well made Swiss / German Watch, preferably Water Resistant to 100M (exceptions are PP, VC, and certain models).
I also am an avid collector of Antique Masonic Items (I am a Mason), Period Templar Knight Items (I am a member of the Order). I also collect Ivory, Drinking Horns, Tiffany Cut Glass and Crystal, Swords, Sword Canes, Guns, Fountain Pens (especially Sterling Silver Fountain Pens), Books, Cars, Vintage and Limited Edition Ray-Ban Sunglasses, Vintage and Modern Cufflinks (extremely well made), Fine Lapis Jewelry (extremely well made), and Antique Arms and Armor. If you have any of these Items to offer feel free to email me. Also, If you have any questions about wing badges feel free to ask. I can be contacted via the email address below
