Default RNZAF Pilots Wings
Hi All
Can anybody tell me if these are genuine or not? I know RAF pilots wings were issued unpadded and the padded wings were private purchase, but don't know anything about any of the other countries. I don't have too much hope for this one but would like to be certain.
Thanks in advance. cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,
Here is a great website to have a look at and check for yourself.

My Opinion is that this set are a modern reproduction.

Cheers
