Is this a Dynasoar X-20 contractor tiepin? Also got the cufflinks and a pin from the same seller.

Looks more like an SR-71 than Dynasoar.

Never saw SR-71 on a rocket. Items look more like the X-20 mounted on rocket.

It is not a Dynasoar. It looks like a MIM-3 Nike-Ajax missile.

Never said there was. Look closer. Nothing like the Dynasoar with spikes at the end of the wings. Plus too many fins on the booster.

X-20 Wing tips look pretty spiky in this photo:

I suggest you look up the configuration of the MIM-3 Nike-Ajax missile. It looks very much like this pin.

No, the wing is straight from the nose to the fin. The pin's vehicle has a scalloped wing.

I agree with the other opinion with you might want to pay attention to the MIM-3 Nike-Ajax missile. Looks as about as close to one as one can get.

I am pretty sure there is one outside our local defense plants entrance but I think it would be hard to stop and take a picture without being surrounded. 😁 They specialized in making the propellant for the Nike back in the day.

I will check my late father's things and see if he had the same tie tac with his patches. He retired from the plant many years ago.
