Vintage WWII U. S. Pilot Army Air Corps Air Force Silver ID Bracelet Sweetheart

This is a vintage World War II Army Air Corps (Air Force) nickel silver military ID chain bracelet. This bracelet features a heavy curb-link chain attached to a central identification plaque. On the left side of the faceplate, there is a small raised emblem featuring the Pilot winged shield motif. The wide, blank remainder of the polished plaque was intentionally left open for engraving a service member's name, ID serial number, or blood type. While worn directly by airmen for informal field identification, these bracelets were also frequently gifted to spouses or girlfriends as romantic "sweetheart jewelry" before the soldiers deployed overseas. The plate is 2 long.
