Description
Escadrille SPA 94 Squadron.
This is very rare and possibly the best-looking piece I have, the grim reaper badge is solid silver (stamped Paris 925) and would have belonged to one of the pilots of Escadrille SPA 94 in the first world war, also known as The Flying Death. The squadron was made from American and French volunteers of which one of the most famous American aces of the war Gervais Raoul Victor Lufbery was a member of this squadron. As a piece of first world war history this is superb and exceptionally rare.
