Virgin Airlines Airplane Lapel Pin

A rather specific design on this stick/lapel pin. Rather than any old airplane a Virgin Airlines branded Airbus (an A340) was chosen. This piece was likely a gift from Virgin Airlines executives or managers to commemorate an achievement or milestone.  

The pin, pin cover and airplane are made of sterling silver, stamped on the underside of the fuselage, and on the pin cover. The fuselage and vertical stabilizer are enameled the red and white Virgin Airlines colors, with the Virgin signature on the stabilizer. 

The top of the wings are brushed parallel to the fuselage, giving a nice contrast and additional texture to the glossy enameled body of the plane.

Perfect for any aviation, Richard Branson or pin enthusiast it is not only functional but a great conversation starter at any event.
