Para-Glider Pilot Wing


Recommended Posts

Picked this up today at a local antique lawn sale, not a bad piece. How many variations of this badge are there?

What are these little buggers going for? I think I did ok, either way looks good in the case next to my regular jump wings.

Indeed, these aren't glider pilot wings... These were for qualified glider infantry men.

These go on epay from 50-100 ...

Ok, I do have a question about glider wings (hopefully its not off subject). I dont think these where issued too much longer after WW2, but Ive read in books about several SF guys being awarded glider badges. So, I guess my question is, if after being discontinued, how where they still issued to SF guys in the late 50's to mid/late 60's?
