F-86 Sabre Fighter Aircraft Vtg Sterling Silver Bracelet Charm Pendant 1.3g Condition: Very good. Measures approx: 18.6 mm x 13.6 mm x 5.7 mm. Weight approx: 1.3 grams. A vintage sterling silver charm pendant of a F-86 Sabre aircraft. The North American F-86 Sabre is a transonic jet fighter aircraft. Produced by North American Aviation, the Sabre is best known as the United States’ first swept-wing fighter that could counter the swept-wing Soviet MiG-15 in high-speed dogfights in the skies of the Korean War (1950–1953), fighting some of the earliest jet-to-jet battles in history. Considered one of the best and most important fighter aircraft in that war, the F-86 is also rated highly in comparison with fighters of other eras. Although it was developed in the late 1940s and was outdated by the end of the 1950s, the Sabre proved versatile and adaptable and continued as a front-line fighter in numerous air forces. Although it is unmarked, you can buy with confidence knowing all silver items, whether marked or not, undergo thorough testing before listing. Contrary to popular belief, U.S. law does not require precious metal jewelry to be stamped with its precious metal content. UK law requires sterling silver items over 7.78 grams be hallmarked unless the mark would spoil the appearance of the item. * * * * * Photographs show a coin & ruler for scale purposes.
