Aeroflot Cap Badge.

These wings came in a bag of small items that I purchased the other day. Can anyone tell me exactly what they are -- I assume they are pilot wings -- and from what period? They appear to be embroidered in some kind of metallic thread but the star is held on by a spread-type attachment. (There must be a word for that.)

Thank you.

This appears to be an Aeroflot hat insignia. This is the correct style for Aeroflot insignia, except for the metal star. The metal star looks like a standard epaulet rank star, and would be spurious to the Aeroflot insignia. All in all, I would say with 95% certainty that this is an Aeroflot visor cap insignia with a spurious star added to it.

Here is a scan of Aerflot cap insignia from the book "Kokardi". Note the M1947 bullion embroidered variant (#6).

Is the book to which you refer, "Kokardi", available for sale? If so, I would be grateful if you would provide me with the contact details of the provider. Thanks very much.
Best regards,
Jim
