Hey guys. Don't know much about pilot wings, so don't know if these ones are foreign made, or what. They don't look too well made, as the upper part of the right wing has a longer lip on it than the other side, as noted in the 3rd picture. The wings almost look stamped. They measure 3.25 inches.

 

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The wing back appears to have pin placement marks on it, which would seemed to be US made. The hing looks British, as does the clasp, this is why I am thinking British or CBI, WWII vintage.

Not sure if they are placment marks or actually the location of the original fittings... Any way to see some macro shots of the obverse\reverse? There is some softness to the details in these photos.

 

Thanks
