I’m pretty sure it’s brass. What makes you say it’s silver? Could it be tarnished that badly? 

I agree with Tod, this looks like a post-war restrike.  I have a good example of a gold 2-inch LGB Flight Surgeon that has the Balfour and Sterling marks struck with raised letters in incised rectangles. A similar wing is the LGB Flight Nurse shown on Bob's website.  I also have a 3-inch LGB Flight Surgeon where the wing in marked with incised LGB and 1/20 10K GF marks, but the attached caduceus has raised letter LGB and 1/20 10K GF marks set in an incised rectangle.   One of the 2-inch LGB-pattern Flight Surgeon on Bob's site has the incised letter LGB and Sterling marks. There is a second one just marker with an incised Sterling.  Bob also has a 2-inch LGB-pattern Flight Nurse on his site that is hallmarked Vanguard, so it appears they had LGB strike some wings for them as well at some point.  

Officially, the standard length is 10 in.  Most however come in around 9 7/8", not 9 inches.  Of the few I have ( about 9 or 10), one is 9.5 inches the rest are 9 7/8 ".  I would think that an M1 with a 9" blade would be hard to come by.   Check out your scabbard for obstructions. Marv

This last example is from a known "thick" planchette Army Silver Star contract. The difference between it and a Navy one is the brooch ( not US Mint style) , and the fact the planchette is gilded bronze not gilded sterling silver.    Kurt

He did.

you should contact the original poster.

I would really like to know the current location and status of my uncle’s helmet. This thread, which I have recently contributed to, dates back to May of 2012. Any information about it’s whereabouts would be tremendously appreciated.

Interesting, I will have to reach out to him and inquire about inventory. His website hasn't been updated in ~7 years but it looked like he had some incredible piece s on there. Thank you!

Hopefully I’m in the correct Forum here, but if please move it accordingly. I obtained this PR Occupation here some years back, & can’t recall which Official Run it was from ? ( If in fact it was from an Official Contract to begin with ? ) It is Rim Numbered # 1630, without No. or M. No. Prefix prior to the Number. Also the Full Wrap Brooch is kind of shiny, for lack of a better word ? I’ve encountered this type before but can’t remember the details ?  I’ve included a few Pictures & hopefully someone familiar with these can identify the particulars for me. THANK YOU Guys !!           Best,   Dom P.    

Bonjour. If that can console you!     😏
