Hi John

Try www.medalsusa.com . I know they do a range of US wings which are about $39, but if you contact them, they may be able to help you with the USAS ones. I'm not sure where you are, but if you're in the UK, they will post here (I've bought from them in the past)

Good luck!

John, No problem...
If they can't help, try Nicholas Morigi the regalia specialist. I can't remember his web address, but he should be easy to find on a search engine. Again, not sure whether he stocks USAS Wings, but he may be able to point you in the right direction.

Cheers

My sense is that the majority of USAS wings sold on Ebay these days are repros (forgeries) and some look pretty convincing. The down side is that they are being advertised as originals and the prices unsuspecting buyers are bidding tend to get fairly high. I should imagine that the crooks who are making these do not sell them through regular retail outlets.

I bought one of the Dallas style wings and am very pleased with it. Nice solid construction and good detailing.
