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

Thanks Didier, it has an American backmark (SCOVILL MFG Co. (dot)) so I assume they made some buttons for France during WW1?

Possibly produced for the Lafayette Escadrille

Hello

you're probably right

the design of the button changed circa 1929-30

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.
