stucky151 Posted March 13, 2015 Share #1 Posted March 13, 2015 Managed to snag up a great lot of wings at pawn shop. Since Im not a wing collector, it seems I always come across them. I think there are some good ones in here, but well see what everyone thinks. Hopefully, they lot pans out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamarhooten Posted March 13, 2015 Share #12 Posted March 13, 2015 Have had the chance to look thru some local Pawn shops and coin stores 'melt' box or can and always find some 'just old' silver and gold in them. Haven't posted any picks in a while of the wings, rank, ect. lately. Found an early Luxenberg pilots wing and BB&B rank this way. Posted pics of the wings on here somewhere.
