Wings, Badge, Glider, US Army, Sterling

Great genuine WWII US Army silver alloy Glider Badge, hallmarked Sterling. Intended to be worn on the dress uniform or jump jacket. The original pin is in working condition.

Based on the Parachutist's Badge design, these 'Wings', which were authorized on June 2, 1944, were to be awarded to GIs upon completion of glider unit training course -- or following their participation in at least one combat mission.

Complete and in very good overall condition.
