Default Jump’s wings made by Gaunt
Hello,
Can you give me your opinion on these wings
Are genuine or fake ?
Have they been worn during WW2 ?
Thanks for answers.

The mark looks good..... its pre 1970s certainly. They are for US Airborne.... are they not (or do the Canadians have this style as well)?
