This is an original World War II U.S. Army Air Forces Pilot's "Crash Bracelet," a highly desirable and personal piece of wartime aviation memorabilia. The bracelet was expertly fashioned from an authentic regulation 3-inch USAAF Pilot Wing, a style commonly worn by pilots and aircrew members throughout the war. These bracelets served both as a keepsake and as an additional means of identification in the event of an aircraft crash, giving rise to their well-known nickname.

The bracelet measures approximately 7½ inches in overall length and remains in very good original condition. The reverse of the wing is engraved with the pilot's name and serial number, adding significant historical interest and the potential for further research. Accompanying the bracelet are the original matching identification tags (dog tags) and the pilot's original identification card, making this a remarkable grouping that has remained together.

Although the wing is not marked "Sterling," it exhibits all the characteristics of sterling silver construction, including its color, weight, and natural age patina. The wing retains crisp feather detail and displays beautifully.

Original WWII USAAF crash bracelets are scarce, especially when accompanied by matching identification items. This is an outstanding and highly collectible display piece that would make an exceptional addition to any World War II aviation, Army Air Forces, or pilot memorabilia collection.
