Very nice piece Mark; RCAF Sweetheart Jewelry. If I recall correctly, I'v seen similar pins before on e-Bay in years past. Can't say if this one is a one of a kind pin.
What else do you have in the way of RCAF stuff?

Re: Jewelers made RCAF Flight Engineer half wing in silver ?
I believe that is either late war or early post war wireless air gunner, maybe a jacket crest/patch due to its size and color, worn on the back? Never actually saw one before but I do remember reading about that type of wing when I first started collecting RCAF stuff. In any case that is one nice set of wings.
I really should post photos of my wings, badges, insignia and sweetheart pins, but I'm now working 3 hrs from home for the next year or so. Maybe when I get home for Christmas?

I have a couple of these Sterling 'sweetheart' brooches,
and I believe they were made by the same maker
as yours, although one is a set of pilot wings.
I'll post them if you'd like.........

Good call gbalke when I first found the AG Wing I ran it on the forum as I could not find another to compare it to and this was the same conclusion that was reached by another member about this badge .That would be awsome Steve if you would not mind I would like to see them very much
Regards Mark K

Very nice pieces of RCAF sweetheart jewelry Steve. I have that same smaller pin that can be seen in the first photo of your pilot wings. I wonder how many other RCAF collectors are members of the forum?

The smaller wings are a part of a lucite bracelet.........
