5thwingmarty Posted January 6, 2021 Share #7 Posted January 6, 2021 This is one of the most common patterns of issue type gunner wings from WWII. With this finish on the back and the "nail head" type posts, this is typically attributed to post WWII manufacture. I don't recall seeing this pattern of wing ever having a manufacturer's hallmark.
