Sometimes you find things and really wished you knew the story they could tell. I found these two together isolated in some woods.

Hey welcome to Tnet! That is a beautiful Airborne paratrooper wings pin. Too bad we will never know the story of the man who lost them. Are there any markings on the back other than Sterling?
