GEMSCO AGO G2 jump wings -When used and what meaning? Their hallmark was a wreath surrounding the name, GEMSCO As far as I can tell that is the earliest hallmark for this company That symbol continued to be used on papers and cards up until the time they went out of business Other hallmarks used were GEMSCO N Y and GEMSCO STERLING These are seen on WWII period insignia

USAAF and USN WW2 era WINGS hallmarks - U. S.

H H IMPERIAL QUESTION - WING BADGES - U. S. Militaria Forum Just as a general rule of thumb based on my own observations, of the hallmarked USN aviator wings, I think AMICO, LGB, and H H (including H H imperial) are all the most common WWII avaitor wings you will find out there

REFERENCE (Listed in Alphabetical Order) - US MILITARIA FORUM I would date the Senior Parachutist Badge as most likely made in the 1950’s Below the senior are two basic wings The bottom one is marked LGB Sterling and the one above it is marked BALFOUR Sterling 1B which is the later hallmark Five of these wings have the distinctly different design found on some older parachute wings
