    I'm just about under the impression if STERLING is not raised, along with the MM, It should be left alone.
  2. WWIIinterviews
    I saw this one as well. It is a beautiful wing, but how do you determine its authenticity?

    Very nice.

    I've only been collecting a couple of years now, and if this keeps happening I might as well stop now. I see no name on this and can't imagine why this sold for this amount. Whoever -****(1) is deserves a share of that.

    A set of glider wings with STERLING stamp and NS MEYER mark as well. Thoughts?
  7. WWIIinterviews
    Here is a set of GP bullion wings on a tunic. Unfortunately, I cannot find anything on the original owner.

    Looking for opinions on this set of J.R. Gaunt wings. Thanks guys!

    Just purchased this set of J.R. Gaunt.

    I was suspicious at first but the more I would research into the wings, the more convinced I got. I am by no means an expert either. This is my first set of J.R. Gaunt wings as well, I know that they are not very common, but I have seen other types of wings converted by placing a bullet or a bomb over the original mark. The original wing seems very original to me and the 'G' emblem matches other glider wings I have. Do you have a set of wings where the original was replaced? I'd love to see any photos you have. Would love to see any other glider wings you have as well. I'm hoping to build a co

    A pair of pin back glider pilot wings made by J.R. Gaunt, London. Notice originally a set of observer wings, this one has had the "G" glider shield emblem placed over the "O."

    This is a great group.

    Really nice tunic and I love the bullion on this one. Nice pick up.
  15. WWIIinterviews
    I really like these gunner bullion wings, however I am curious about the tan cloth between the blue combat backing and the wings??

    I really like the bullion gunner wings presented on this combat backing, however I am curious as to why there would be tan cloth underneath the bullion?
