It is an embroidered badge, elongated and triangular in shape, representing a pair of stylized wings. The gold embroidery forms two symmetrical wings, spread out on either side of a central curved motif, evoking the style of mid-20th century aviation badges. The background of the patch is a very dark blue, almost black, typical of French Air Force uniforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe embroidery features a gold thread finish, with a marked relief that accentuates the texture and brilliance of the motifs. The wings are finely worked, each feather represented by parallel lines of gold thread, creating a volumetric effect. The perimeter of the patch is raw-cut, with no additional visible border on the photographed side, revealing some sewing threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole is sewn onto a textile support, whose slightly felted appearance is perceptible in the photo. No markings, text, or numbers are visible on the front. The style and embroidery technique evoke the badges worn on aviator or aircrew uniforms, particularly in the first half of the 20th century, although the exact period cannot be guaranteed without further clues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fabric surface shows some slight irregularities, indicative of moderate wear and an authentic vintage appearance. The gold embroidery retains a beautiful luster, although small variations in shade and shine may be observed, typical of an old patch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of embroidered badge was traditionally worn on the chest or sleeve of Air Force uniforms, as a mark of function or aeronautical specialty. The highly recognizable wing shape makes it a distinctive element of French military history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
