Brig Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 any rear photos? why would they use a silver star when silver represents 5 awards...is that for his fifth combat jump? I'm no expert on these, I don't collect AB anymore, but I know there's a lot of fakes of jump wings with stars floating around. was it acquired through a good source? I have also moved this to the Wings forum where you will get more replies from those who focus on them -BrigGySgt/USMC/0369RSU-Quantico"FOR OUR TOMORROWS, THEY GAVE THEIR TODAYS"RIPSgt Jesse 'Jeff Nasty' BalthaserSgt John P HulingCpl Carlos 'Gilo Monster' GilorozcoCpl Stephen C 'Socks' SockaloskyLCpl Joshua A 'Scottie' ScottLCpl Jason Lee 'Birdman' FryeLCpl Nicolas B MorrisonLCpl Jon T HicksLCpl Osbrany 'Oz' Montes De OcaPvt Lewis T D Calapini'The SOI 5' Link to post Share on other sites

militarymodels Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 The wings look OK. I think the jump star is dark bronze but the flash reflection made it look like silver. However, it's kind of strange that the soldered jump star is off center. I have a couple of jump wings with soldered stars and have seen many wings with soldered stars and they're dead centered.
