Sterling Silver Spitfire Tie Clip | Reclaimed WWII Fuselage

Own a Tangible Piece of Aviation History

This is more than a tie clip – it is a wearable artefact. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted using original aluminium fuselage salvaged from the iconic Supermarine Spitfire MK IX MJ170, flown by RB Pullin. Unlike mass-produced replicas, we use the metal in its raw, authentic form – retaining the original marks, scratches, and undulating profiles that tell the story of The Few.

Every tie clip comes with a Certificate of Authenticity confirming the aircraft's origin.

For every item sold from our WW2 collection, we donate £5 to SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, via Work for Good.

We source genuine Spitfire parts during dismantling, such as the fuselage, and upcycle them, setting them in Sterling Silver, to produce a stunning collection of Spitfire cufflinks and jewellery.

They make unique gifts for history lovers with an interest in Second World War history.

The pieces of aluminium fuselage feature all the marks and scratches present on the metal. We don't melt it and reform it – we use it in its raw form.

Paint remains visible to maintain authenticity, with all original imperfections still visible.

Aluminium is a contemporary gift given for 10th wedding anniversaries.
