KASTAUFFER Posted June 5, 2008 Share #1 Posted June 5, 2008 I picked this wing up today in a box of junk at an antique store for the proverbial " song and a dance " . The wings were pinned to the oval and the oval has been sewn on before. It is sewn on wool felt . I am not an Airborne expert by any sense of the word , and do not know which unit this para oval represents. Any ideas ? Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KASTAUFFER Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted June 5, 2008 I think I just figured it out. I think it is the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment , 82nd Airborne . Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
