Royal Canadian Air Force Sweetheart Brooch

This silvertone brooch with rhinestones is in excellent used condition. These brooches were given by Royal Canadian Air Force pilots to their loved ones. "Anthony" stamped on back. Does not take a magnet, but has not been tested for silver. These pins were typically silver plated nickel or sterling. A collector has told me that the crown on top is a queen's crown and thus dates it to Elizabeth II's reign (1953 to 2022). brooch, pin, military memorabilia, Canada, World War II, Air Force, pilot, token, sweetheart, loved one. silver, rhinestones, wings, crown, history
