Travd3 Posted July 4, 2018 Share #1 Posted July 4, 2018 Ive had these wings for a very long time and just found it again. Made of silver bullion and VERY thin silver wire. Measure 1" Tall x 1-1/8" Wide. Backed by a cotton muslin type material. Seem to be a version of the US Army basic jump wing, but not sure. I have no information and cant seem to find another. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triplecanopy Posted July 4, 2018 Share #3 Posted July 4, 2018 These wings are quite possibly mess dress wings worn on a white jacket. The USAF also used a similar pattern at one time. Let's see what some of the other wing collectors have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travd3 Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted July 4, 2018 The loop at the apex of the chute has me at a loss as well. I haven't seen one like this ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travd3 Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share #7 Posted July 4, 2018 The fine wire in the canopy is VERY similar. Where were those made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
