U.S. Military Surplus In the 1940s, during World War II, soldiers going to war had a custom of giving accessories to their families and lovers back home. These were called sweetheart jewelry, and many featured designs of the soldiers' respective military branches, including rings, necklaces, bracelets, and brooches. This is a bracelet featuring the emblem of the U.S. Army Air Force (USAAF), the predecessor to the U.S. Air Force. While emblem types for bomber squadrons are relatively common, those with only the propeller emblem are extremely rare. Perhaps due to the large size of the emblem, this design is popular overseas and trades at high prices. There is some dulling due to age, but it is in mint condition with no inscriptions. It is gold-colored, but there is no material marking. Total length: Approximately 19cm Emblem: Approximately 2.5 x 3.7cm I also have many other 40's sweetheart jewelry and genuine military surplus items for sale.
