Need help with glider wings

Hi Gang,

I'm in need of a little help with these glider wing, to see if it is genuine. They were really gray with a little work with a shirt they are shining up.

Thanks Gang

Sorry for the bad pics

These look like a nice example of late/post war glider wings, although I would stop "shining them up" as that ( in my opinion) lessens their appeal!

Paul is correct, those are classic "issue" or "graduation" style glider pilot wings from WWII. Not uncommon, but still very nice.
