Apologies in advance for the whiteouts, but if the eventual buyer of the grouping wants to release the identification that is his business, I am not comfortable doing so as only a temporary owner. This is one of two original ball-and-chain wings I acquired from American POWs. (I thought it would be more interesting in the wing category but I can re-categorize it if I am mistaken.)

This is the first "Ball and Chain" POW wing I have seen that appears to be real and I've collected POW wings for a long time. Its definitely from Stalag Luft 3 based on the Card.

 

Id love to see the reverse of the wing.

Not sure if I reposted it correctly to the other forum, please feel free to correct and re-repost. I added some info there about the second example.
