US WW2 Glider wint opinions

[Eric]

Hi, got this wing in today and was looking for opinions on authentication and if possible value. I compared it to wings in the silver wings, pinks and greens book. And to me it looks good, same as the 'Juarez' pattern wings. But since wings is not my main field of collecting focus I would like some expert opinions. Thank you

It looks like an authentic wing to me.  You will sometimes see these marked Coin Silver as well but the Sterling mark seems to be more common.  You're correct that these are often referred to as Juarez style wings.  I think you have a good one.  Very nice wing.  As for value, it's really hard to say.  on eBay you never know what a wing will sell for and I'm not as current on what the market value would be for a wing like this at a show.  I can say that Glider wings do bring a premium over a normal pilot wing.

There is a coin silver marked one that sold on eBay for $198

Legitimate Walter Lampl designed Glider wing. Value? Whatever someone willing to pay by I would estimate at $200-250

Thanks for the replies!

Glider wings seem to have taken a big jump in value the last 5 years or so.  Very nice wing.
