Bullion Wings for review please
 
2 Attachment(s)
I'm not a RAF collector so I'm not sure about these wings. Its suggested that they're Indian made? I'd be grateful for any views on this in terms of where and when they're likely to have been made...

Many thanks to anyone who can help.

There is nothing in these wings which leads me to believe they are Indian made and the wing appears to have a black backing that makes them 1920s.

Hello Jon,

How big are they (length from wingtip to wingtip), they look like mess dress wings

Hi guys. Thank you very much for the comments so far. I’ll get the measurements when I get home. So the thought is that these could be early?

The wings are 9.1 cm long. Does that help?

I don't know about backings but the quality is not what I would expect of a British made wing, though there is definitely some age to them.
Cheers,
Alex

Its definitely theater made, but I'm not sure when/where.
