This is a museum quality reproduction of the Belgium Pilot King Albert Officers wing that was used in 1918 with both the right and left collars made in sterling silver with a 24k Gold plate. Also a full size wing was 3 1/16 inches wide. To see more on what a Belgian officer would have worn on his uniform a great site is http://users.skynet.be/Belgian.militaria/pilot.htm A very rare wing set missing from most collections. After all how many pilots belonged to the Air Force in Belgium in WWI? They had 4 squadrons when the war started by 1916 it grew to 6 squadrons and overall had 11 Aces. This tiny Air Force had 127 aircraft and lost 65 airmen killed.

We would like to welcome our newest store to the site, Stillwater Porcelain. Pat Pyott has been producing these fantastic porcelain relief tiles and dishes for many years and I first noticed these at the many local restaurants that use her plates and dishes. I was so taken by the designs and quality that I had to find out for myself who was making these and we are really excited to offer her products here at Shop Local Products. Check out this exciting line of porcelain ware.
