Where can I get the old pin-on flight officer bars (late 80s)?

[DoubleSecret]

Is there a source out there for them?  CAP shadow box wouldn't be complete without that godlike rank in there.  Thanks.

Cadet or SM?

I've seen both on eBay, but not very often.

Cadet or SM?

He said bars, implying SM.

Yeah, I should probably read gooder.

Doesn't the Navy and the Coast Guard still use the AF style Warrant Officer grade insignia?
SarDragon?

Well, sorta. The physical form is slightly different, as is the enamel color. But, they don't look anything like the olde FO insignia. WO bars are segmented along the length; FO bars are segmented across the width.

A suggestion:  Pay a visit to the next gun show in your area.  Most of the gun shows I visit have several collectors/vendors of old (real and fake) military badges, ribbons, rank, etc.  (I found a set of Pan American Airways Pilot Wings from the late 1930's when my father flew for them).  There is a fairly large gun show this weekend.  I'll be flying for our aero club open house all day Saturday, but Sunday Afternoon my wife and I will be at the gun show and I'll check if there are any there.

Now, what am I looking for?  Something along the lines of the Army CW-5 Rank?  or the old 1960's CAP WO/FO of blue squares on silver bar?

The insignia in question are solid black/dark blue with thin silver lines centered vertically in the following configuation:

Flight Officer: 1 silver line
Technical Flight Officer: 2 silver lines
Senior Flight Officer: 3 silver lines

Exactly.  These were CAP-specific, I can't repurpose existing or old-school military warrant officer insignia. 

Thanks to all.

To answer your question, I might have a set of FO and TFO. If I can locate them without having to call Indiana Jones, they're yours...I'll PM you by tomorrow....

Thanks so much.  Either way, I'll pay it forward.

OK, Weather permitting I'll be flying all day Saturday but Sunday Afternoon we will be at the gun show and I'll keep my eyes open.
Question: 
If I see any how much do you want to spend?

Excuse the zoom-in pickiness, but WO was blue on gold. CWO was blue on silver. (I was a WO. Jeez, just typing that oldens me and makes my knees hurt).

I tried to send you a PM to thank you, but it was blocked.  Thanks anyway

Went to the gun show, should have known better.  The gun show was a bust being the same weekend as the Annual NRA Expo in Louisville, Ky., There was only one vendor of military insignia, pins, patches, etc., and although  I looked he did not have the items.
