United States. A Sterling Silver Army Air Force Command Pilot Badge, by Josten

In sterling silver, maker marked "JOSTEN" and marked "STERLING" on the reverse, measuring 76.5 mm (w) x 31.5 mm (h), horizontal pinback, light contact overall, residue evident in the recessed areas from cleaning, better than very fine.

Footnote: During the Second World War, with the rise of the Army Air Forces, a second series of aviator badges were issued to include a design that has survived to the modern day. The Pilot Badge was issued in three degrees, including Pilot, Senior Pilot, and Command Pilot. A polished silver-colored version of these badges is currently used as the United States Air Force Pilot Badges.
