Hi all,
I need your help. I am trying to research a hand engraved World War 1 pilots wing I have to try to understand some of the technical aspects about how the wing was made and maybe pick up some background on the art form.
I hope this type of thread is not against any rules if so I am sorry.
I will begin by posting the name of the company that is engraved on the reverse of the wing. What I would like to know is information about the lettering style and how such small letters were engraved so neatly and any other information that comes to mind.
Then I will post the obverse to show what I think is some really beautiful engraving of the wings.
Thanks
John
