Yep those are Allegheny pilot wings. They are very similar to the current ones. Can you post a pic of the aircraft model?
The Allegheny model was really in bad shape so I didn't buy it, it was plastic and the wings and tail were broken and had been sloppily glued on. I did get two other desk models, one a Northeast Brittania, which is pretty big and HEAVY metal, and a Northwest model, which is plastic and a bit smaller. I'm guessing the Brittania is from the '50s or 60s, but no idea about the NW model. The Brittania is cool, but the props are gone and it has some strange damage to the top. Here's a pic:



Pretty cool, eh?
