Unknown US Button -
Hi All, does anyone know what unit (American?) may have used this design please - It is similar to Army Air Corps but that has a straight propeller. Maker is SCOVILL MFG Co.
Thanks Wayne https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4879/...56e45363a8.jpgUS Buttons 05 - Copy (2) by Wayne, on Flickr |
Hello Wayne
french Air Force button http://albindenis.free.fr/Site_escad..._uniformes.htm cordially Didier |
Thanks Didier, it has an American backmark (SCOVILL MFG Co. (dot)) so I assume they made some buttons for France during WW1?
Regards Wayne |
Possibly produced for the Lafayette Escadrille

Hello
you're probably right the design of the button changed circa 1929-30 https://picclick.fr/2-boutons-arm%C3...153732824.html Didier |
Turns out it may be one of a number of things but Peruvian AF looks to be the closest design wise so far. The French AF one has a wider prop at the top and very little height difference from top of the wings to top of the prop.
