Default Glider pilot half bullion wings

I would be interested to know if anyone has a set of wings like these, with 100% provenance?

I acquired these recently, but there are some questions regarding authenticity (due to 13 rather than 14 feathers, and relatively fresh/shiney appearance of some bullion on the crown).

I am keen to know if anyone has a similar set that is known to be genuine.

Insights appreciated!
