easterneagle87 Posted March 13, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 13, 2017 I've taken a look at these Glider wings for bit, but have some questions. I've seen this style, but the flat style is pretty ugly. The flip side is straight pin back and marked sterling. Let's hear what the crowd has to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sigma9r Posted March 13, 2017 Share #3 Posted March 13, 2017 I'd buy them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtA Posted March 13, 2017 Share #4 Posted March 13, 2017 Same here. I like them. Nice variation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonomachi Posted March 14, 2017 Share #5 Posted March 14, 2017 I agree with everybody else as this is one of the legitimate variants. I've also come across this flat profile style glidertrooper wing with a drop in catch. More recently I've come across a clutch back sterling marked (incised) wing which may indicate a restrike. Whomever manufactured this glidertrooper wing also manufactured a sterling marked pin back flat profile paratrooper wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easterneagle87 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share #6 Posted March 15, 2017 What would you consider a fair price? I've been a given a number, but seems steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easterneagle87 Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share #7 Posted March 25, 2017 Would you pay $125 ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfrost Posted March 25, 2017 Share #8 Posted March 25, 2017 No. I would be patient you could eventually find one in the $50 range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimo Posted March 25, 2017 Share #9 Posted March 25, 2017 I like them though my personal preference is for the more sculptured styles. They are not pilot or any kind of aircrew wings - they are the "Glider Badge" issued to everyone who completed glider unit training to learn how to be an airborne soldier who would ride in a glider in the same way as the similar design "Parachutist Badge" was given to airborne troops who took the training course to qualify to parachute. I agree that $125 is a bit optimistic for a price this Badge and would think half of that would be a full retail amount for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easterneagle87 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share #10 Posted March 26, 2017 I too agree it is a bit much. I wanted to get opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
