Original Wwii Army

Original WWII US Army 307th Airborne Engineer Jump Wings Sterling English-Made. Very nice original US Army item. Pin-back fastener with C-catch in the English style, measures 1-1/2 wide. The Corps of Engineers emblem in brass is riveted to the center of the parachute. An excellent, authentic, and rare badge.

Also, might be a small shop that custom made the badge for an engineer. In World War II, the U. Army had two established Airborne Engineer Battalions: the 307th and the 127th. The 307th was assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division, while the 127th was the second to be activated. These two units were the only ones to remain as permanent Airborne Engineer Battalions in the U. The 307th was the primary and saw action on D-Day, Operation Market Garden, and Battle of the Bulge. They also served as occupation troops in Germany after the war. Since the 127th served in the Pacific, English made wings are almost certain to have been for the 307th. See my other auctions with military and other items! Please feel free to ask any questions.
