Longhorn92 Posted January 14 Share #1 Posted January 14 These are on eBay right now and described as OSS Chinese Commando wings. I have a couple metal ones and they don’t look like this one. I have zero interest in buying them but was just wondering if they’re in fact a variant. They have the shape of several other foreign wings and look very crude. Thanks. https://www.ebay.com/itm/WWII-Chinese-Oss-Paratrooper-Airborne-Theater-Made-Wings-Pin/324450900364?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Df0c2fa1db8044dcfa5bdf4be18144ae3%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D324450900364%26itm%3D324450900364%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A114fa38e-5601-11eb-b9aa-aaace69966da|parentrq%3Afe55f5901760ad33f8462c8affc07f6c|iid%3A1 Member: ASMIC OVMS Primary interests: The United States Army in WWII The United States Army in Vietnam WANTED: WWII: 551st PIB pocket and shoulder patches 504th PIR real deal pocket patch Link to post Share on other sites
manayunkman Posted January 14 Share #2 Posted January 14 Im pretty sure that Chinese wings were made a certain way and this one doesn’t conform. Im not an expert so wait until someone more qualified chimes in. Link to post Share on other sites
Tonomachi Posted January 14 Share #3 Posted January 14 This is a Middle Eastern paratrooper wing most likely Egyptian. Link to post Share on other sites
Longhorn92 Posted January 14 Author Share #4 Posted January 14 I thought they looked Kuwaiti or Egyptian.

Kadet Posted January 14 Share #8 Posted January 14 Dealers have sold this style wing as a genuine variation. Of course that doesn't make them real, but it is a data point. The ones you want look like those posted by Ron...
