Hi Guys,

 

These are unfortunately out of my field of collecting, but what do you think of this British made Glider Wing?

 

 

Looking forward to hear your opinions on it.

 

Kind regards,

This is just my opinion but I shy away from these due to the plethora of counterfeit British made US paratrooper and glider infantry wings that have flooded the collector's market over the years.  Supposedly rumor has it that these counterfeiters in the UK have the original dies and over the years they have been getting better and better at making copies of these wing.  This does look like an unmarked Ludlow London manufactured US glider infantry wing.   It has the correct fixings on the reverse which they were unable to get right in their first and subsequent series of copies.  I suspect they read posts like this one which helps them to make a better counterfeit.  This may be a legitimate piece however the front looks a little too mint for something that is supposed to be over 70 years old.
