<p>[QUOTE="gimbler-dave, post: 101877, member: 313"]This piece just came in and I am having problems finding any comparable. Our customer described it as "Baptist Army Wings" for a soldier named Vaiano that served in China and Burma. The middle section on the pin (the crossed cannons part) appears to be associated with Coastal Artillery Officers. But I haven't been able to find any example mated with the wings as shown here. The back is kind of odd with the two rectangular cartouche/cutouts near the center, but maybe those are mounting spots for the piece on the front.</p><p><br /></p><p>The piece is about 3-1/4 inches across and 3/4 inch high, weighing 19.5 grams.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone know what this pin is?
